About BAXTER
What is BAXTER?
BAXTER is a college-planning system designed to help students and families understand what matters, what to do next and when to do it.
Rather than giving families one overwhelming checklist, BAXTER breaks the process into clear, age-appropriate steps throughout high school.
Who is BAXTER for?
BAXTER is for families who want a thoughtful, structured approach to college planning without unnecessary pressure or confusion.
Our resources are built for students preparing for college, trade school or another path after high school. The goal is not to prescribe one definition of success. It is to help each family make informed decisions about the future they choose.
When should we begin college planning?
Beginning during freshman year gives students the most time to build a strong foundation, but it is never necessary to have everything figured out at once.
Families can begin using BAXTER later in high school too. The most appropriate starting point depends on the student’s grade and how much preparation has already been completed.
Does BAXTER guarantee college admission?
No. Admissions decisions are made independently by each college, university or program and depend on many factors outside BAXTER’s control.
BAXTER provides structure, education and guidance so students can make thoughtful decisions and present their work honestly and effectively.

BAXTER

Does the parent need a separate BAXTER account?
