Start with an interest and turn it into something real.
Compass · by Davisville Labs
Build stronger college applications, one meaningful experience at a time.
Compass helps high school students turn interests into projects, portfolio work, reflections, and application-ready stories before senior year arrives.
Collect links, notes, photos, files, and proof of progress.
Capture what changed, what was hard, and what was learned.
Connect the experience to essays, activities, and interviews.
The Problem
Great college applications are not written senior year. They are built over time.
Too many students reach application season trying to remember what they did. Compass helps them build meaningful experiences before they need to write about them.
Students need direction.
Compass helps students turn interests into projects that show curiosity, initiative, and growth.
Parents need a plan.
Compass gives families a simple system for making high school more intentional.
Applications need real stories.
Projects, reflections, and portfolio work become material for essays, activities, scholarships, and interviews.
How Compass Works
Interest. Project. Portfolio. College application.
Compass gives students a repeatable system for building application-ready experiences throughout high school.
Design, business, technology, health, media, education, science, money, policy, and more.
Compass turns broad interests into concrete projects with clear next steps and visible progress.
Students collect links, notes, files, reflections, screenshots, and finished work in one organized place.
Projects become material for activities lists, essays, UC PIQs, scholarships, internships, and interviews.
