🧪 New Tool Alert: Compare Universities Like a Financial Sleuth
📣 Big news, data nerds, higher ed doomsday prophets, and curious parents everywhere...
We’ve officially launched our University Comparison Tool – Tier 1 Edition, and it's live right now! Think of it as Consumer Reports meets College Admissions — but with less fluff and more fiscal truth bombs.
🔗 Try the Tier 1 Tool here — and yes, it opens in a new tab so you don’t lose your place on this glorious newsletter.
🧭 What Does the Tool Do?
- Select up to 8 universities
- Choose up to 5 key data points (no fluff, just the good stuff)
- Instantly see side-by-side projections for 2028 based on the Holt-Winters Forecasting Model (yes, we use math that sounds like a Sherlock Holmes villain)
You’ll get real, unfiltered financial and academic data to compare schools that might look alike on paper — but one could be thriving and the other... well... might be one surprise donor away from selling dorm furniture on Craigslist.
🔮 Coming Soon: Tiers 2 & 3
Tier 1 is just the tip of the data iceberg. Coming soon:
💡 Tier 2 — Includes ratios, market saturation metrics, academic efficiency formulas, and advanced indicators of viability. Basically, Tier 1 with a calculator and a grudge.
🎯 Tier 3 — Wild filters, survival trajectory maps, denominational overlays, and so much granularity it may legally qualify as a personality test for your alma mater.
🎉 Why This Matters
Because not all private universities will survive the enrollment cliff. And whether you're a student, parent, trustee, faculty member, or spreadsheet enthusiast, you deserve to make decisions based on more than a glossy brochure and a Latin motto.
