It generates a set of acceptance rates, retention rates, graduation rates, and alumni giving rates.  Those statistics are critical to your search and maximizing the return on your college and are all driven by entry of your ACT score.  Use them in identifying which colleges and universities are worthy of your attention, application for admission, and/or enrollment.

REAP offers this tool for free and merely in exchange for a simple smile and/or a tax deductible donation of any amount should you find it satisfactory in meeting your needs.

Be sure to check out our mission statement and to stay tuned for additional enhancements to this site and our innovative approaches to college selection and survival.

We would like to expand our offerings and appreciate any support you offer.

The most important thing is to get the word out to other college seekers that some colleges and universities are worthy of your time and talents.  However, there are many where the risk to your investments are unfortunate.  Keep in mind the 8-4-2-2-1 pattern, which helps one remember that the freshman to sophmore progression or retention rate is about 75 percent in the US and the six year graduation rate is just over 51 percent.

Out of every EIGHT full-time students who enter college for the first time, FOUR will graduate in six years or less; TWO will leave that college TO go to another; and ONE will never attend college again.

REAP knows the best prospects for improving these gloomy statistics is through consumer education about higher education.
