Last updated: 05/28/2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at collegebrain.ai and the services offered there (the "Service"), operated by College Brain ("College Brain," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What College Brain is — and is not

College Brain is an informational tool that assesses your academic and extracurricular profile against publicly available data (such as the Common Data Set published by colleges) and provides estimates, comparisons, and guidance to support your college planning.

College Brain is not:

  • A guarantee of any admission outcome. Our probability estimates are informational ranges based on published data and modeling assumptions. They are not predictions, promises, or guarantees that you will or will not be admitted to any school.
  • A substitute for professional advice. College Brain does not replace a qualified school counselor, independent educational consultant, financial advisor, or attorney. For decisions with significant consequences, consult an appropriate professional.
  • Affiliated with any college or university. We are an independent tool. We are not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with any of the institutions referenced in the Service.

You acknowledge that college admissions decisions depend on many factors outside our data and modeling — including essays, recommendations, interviews, institutional priorities, and year-to-year variation — and that actual outcomes may differ substantially from any estimate the Service provides.
