Readiness Check
Find your starting level and the next move that fits.
How this works
This check doesn’t grade you and there’s nothing to pass. It reads a handful of honest answers—how clear your goal is, when you want to start, where you are with the money, and what your week allows—and names a starting level: Exploring, Narrowing, or Ready. That level is just a way of saying which work comes next.
Then it picks two or three moves aimed at your biggest gap first, each linking to a guide or tool that does the real work. Someone still weighing options gets pointed toward comparing programs; someone with a date in mind gets pushed toward the aid paperwork. Your answers stay in this browser, and if personalization is on, the paths you land on help shape what your dashboard surfaces later. Nothing here is advice about which school or career to pick—only a nudge toward a sensible next step.
