College planning shouldn't create chaos
Loper is the all-in-one college planning tool that helps you and your teen through every step — from exploring schools to hitting submit — without the stress, confusion, or dinner table fights
Everything you need to support their college journey
(without the stress, confusion, or conflict)
Help your teen build a college list they’re actually excited about
(Without relying on rankings, Reddit threads, or random advice from neighbors)
See what every school on their list requires — all in one place
(No more mystery deadlines, missing essays, or last-minute scrambles)
Access expert resources to help you through each step
(So they’re not just checking a task off the list — they’re doing it well)
The Problem
You want to help your teen plan for college...
...haven’t started yet — and already feel like you’re behind.
College emails are showing up, your teen seems clueless, and you're just as lost as they are
...have started doing your research — but just feel more confused.
You’ve read articles, joined info nights, asked other parents… and still feel like you’re guessing
...have a teen who says they’ve got it handled — but you're not so sure.
They won’t tell you much — unless you count eye rolls as status updates.
You want to help — but not knowing how leaves you micromanaging... or completley MIA.
The Promise
You're not the problem — the process is.
And that’s why we built Loper: to make a complex, high-stakes process feel simple and doable.
We went through this process ourselves — overwhelmed by options, buried in deadlines, and unsure what actually mattered.
We saw how chaotic it was from the inside, and how little support there was for families trying to do it right. So we built the tool we wish we’d had — not just for students, but for the people supporting them.
How It Works
The easiest way for families to navigate college planning—together.
Get the clarity, structure, and insight you need to help your teen apply with confidence — without losing your mind, your weekends, or your relationship.
Your teen uses the Loper mobile app to explore colleges
Loper helps them think through what matters most — from campus life to class size — and gives them personalized school recommendations that actually fit.
They build their list and do all their research (in one place)
As they explore, Loper helps them build a balanced list, compare schools, and stay organized — with research tools, key stats, and application details all in the app.
You get a real-time snapshot of where things stand
With one click, your teen can share their school list, key deadlines, and college preferences — so you’re informed without having to ask a million questions.
Oh — and everything above? That’s just the free version.
Just wait ‘til you see what’s in our affordable premium upgrade 👀
Clarity for your teen. Peace of mind for you.
Turn your college list into an action plan. Instantly.
Create a custom roadmap for your college applications, with deadlines, tasks, and expert advice built in.
The Loper difference
You’re expected to guide your teen through college — but no one shows you how.
College is one of the biggest investments your family will ever make — emotionally and financially. And yet, the path to getting there is anything but clear. You’re left trying to make high-stakes decisions with limited guidance.
Most tools don’t help — they overwhelm teens and frustrate parents.
Disorganized data. Generic checklists. Zero insight into what really matters. Your teen avoids it. You can’t help without stepping on toes. And the whole process becomes a source of stress — not excitement.
Loper was built for today’s teens — and the parents who support them.
It feels like the tech your family already uses — clean, intuitive, and easy to stick with. Teens get a clear, guided path. Parents get just enough insight to be helpful without hovering. Win-win!
