Choosing a college major is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a student — it shapes your coursework, internships, and early career path, but it doesn't have to define the rest of your life.

“We spent years answering the same 50‑plus questions from students and parents,” says co‑founder Maya Patel, who spent seven years as a senior admissions counselor at a selective liberal arts college. “The answers were scattered across PDFs, webinars, and endless email threads. It was a mess.”

Patel teamed up with Jae‑Hoon Kim, a data‑analytics specialist who had built predictive models for enrollment at a large public university. Their goal: turn raw admissions data and best‑practice advice into a single, searchable, interactive “rulebook.” collegerula.com

The site then generates a custom rule set, highlighting the most relevant actions for that student’s unique circumstances. The dashboard tracks progress with checkmarks, deadlines, and “next‑step” nudges.
