Terms of use
Updated 14 November 2026 · Public beta
bdesh is a free, independent educational planning service for students researching undergraduate admissions. By using it you agree to use it lawfully and accept the limits below.
Educational information, not an offer
College, funding, admission, scholarship, deadline and testing information is research guidance. It can change and can be wrong or out of date. A listed college is not an endorsement or a promise of admission or funding. Confirm every requirement on the institution's official pages before relying on it.
The bdesh guide
The AI guide explains and points you to sources; it does not make decisions for you, predict admission, or write your applications. It can be wrong. You are responsible for checking facts and for your own work.
The guide uses an API key you create with Groq or Google. You are responsible for that key and for following that provider's terms; keep it private and remove it from bdesh if you use a shared device.
Your applications are yours
bdesh is not affiliated with Common App, College Board, universities or scholarship providers unless clearly stated. Building a profile or ticking a box on bdesh sends nothing to any college. You are responsible for your official submissions.
Using bdesh fairly
Only enter information you are allowed to share, keep your sign-in secure, do not impersonate anyone, and do not misuse the site or interfere with other accounts.
Availability
bdesh is an evolving beta. Features may change or be unavailable. Keep your own copies of important information and official college messages.
