Why CollegeFit IQ exists

CollegeFit IQ was built by Daniel Sciortino, a parent who went through the college search with his eldest son and saw how hard it is for middle and upper-middle families to balance fit and cost — especially when need-based aid is off the table. The goal is simple: a smarter list, grounded in academic fit, campus match, and realistic merit aid.
