Mahanu🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.
Longlist
Everything plausible, with the facts that actually matter — before any narrowing. The discipline: longlist wide and factual first, judge second. A college cut before it's on the list is a college judged on a feeling; a college on the list with its numbers filled is a college judged on evidence.
| College | Program(s) | Admission basis | Cutoff / bar | Cost (all-in) | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| exam / board / portfolio |
Fill rules
- Every plausible option goes on — including the reach and the safety. Cutting comes later, deliberately.
- Facts, not impressions — cutoff numbers, real cost including stay, exact admission basis. "Good reputation" is not a column.
- The clipped campus and admissions sources feed this; note where each fact came from so it can be rechecked.
Next (only after the longlist is full)
- Decide the shortlist criteria first — what's a dealbreaker, what's a nice-to-have — before looking at which colleges pass. (Deciding criteria after seeing the options is how bias sneaks in.)
- One doc per shortlisted college: exactly what it takes to get in, with dates.
- Gap analysis → a prep timetable working backwards from the earliest deadline.
