Why this exists
International applicants make up nearly 6% of US undergraduate enrollment, but almost every college-search tool — Niche, Princeton Review, US News — is designed for domestic students. The numbers that matter for an applicant in Lagos or Hyderabad — international admit rate, work-visa sponsorship, country-of-origin alumni networks — are buried, paywalled, or simply absent.
The wiki collects what the public record already says, in one place, written through the international lens.
What we publish
Every university page combines public-record data from a handful of sources:
- College Scorecard for admit rates, net price, and post-graduation earnings.
- IPEDS (the federal education statistics system) for enrollment and demographics.
- DHS H-1B disclosures for which schools’ graduates get sponsored work visas.
- Wikidata + Wikipedia for famous alumni, ranked by global notability.

What we don’t do
We don’t rank universities. The data is provided as facets to filter on — not as a single score. We don’t paywall the data, and we don’t fabricate numbers when the upstream record is missing — those fields show an em-dash so you know they’re absent, not zero.
Who built it
A small founding team. We’re applicants and former applicants ourselves. Reach us at [email protected].
