VERIFIED DATA
Every fact, its source, and when we last checked it
This page lists every real-world fact our tools and advice rely on: deadlines, grade conversions, costs, scholarship routes. Each row shows the official source and the date we last checked it.
Our rule is simple: nothing unverified in front of a family. Until a fact is confirmed against its official source, it is labeled as an estimate or as pending, we would rather show you an honest gap than a confident guess.
