And this applies to the colleges that meet the criteria- not every college out there.
*The colleges came together to fix a problem that researchers have noted for years: Complex admissions processes deter students from applying, and those who come from low-income families can’t afford the counselors and classes within reach of their wealthier peers.
High schools, for example, can already buy software to help counselors track their students through the application process, but many can’t afford it.
