Bloom helps you explore, plan, and stay organized. Before acting on a deadline, cost, eligibility rule, or requirement, confirm it with the organization that controls it.
1. AI-generated content
AI can be confidently wrong, miss a recent change, or invent a detail. Review every result before relying on it. Essay coaching is a starting point for the student's own thinking and revision; the words submitted must remain the student's, and each school's academic-integrity rules apply.
2. College, scholarship, and program data
Bloom uses public and curated sources including the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, official college sites and catalogs, and scholarship listings. Colleges and providers can change deadlines, eligibility, programs, costs, and admission requirements without notice. A citation or update date does not replace checking the official page.
3. Estimates are estimates
Match bands, admission chances, financial-aid figures, net prices, loan projections, scholarship ROI, readiness scores, and recommendations use incomplete public data and simplified assumptions. They do not predict an outcome or create an offer. Complete official forms and ask the relevant institution for real figures.
4. Not professional advice
Bloom does not provide admissions consulting, financial, tax, legal, immigration, medical, or mental-health advice. Individual circumstances differ. Consult a qualified professional before making a decision that depends on those areas.
If a student is in crisis, contact a crisis service rather than Bloom. Bloom's AI surfaces also attach these resources automatically to any answer that touches on self-harm or safety.
When that happens, a parent sees on their dashboard how many times it happened in the last 90 days — never what was asked, and never what was said.
In crisis? Call or text 988 — free, 24/7. Or text HOME to 741741.
5. No guarantees
No planning tool can promise admission, aid, a scholarship, or any other result. Bloom provides its information and tools as available, without a guarantee that every result is current, complete, or right for a particular family.
6. Independence
Bloom is an independent product. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any college or university, The Common Application, Inc., the College Board, the U.S. Department of Education, or any scholarship provider. Trademarks belong to their owners.
7. Privacy and corrections
Bloom does not sell family data or use it to train models. Hosted Bloom processes family data to provide the service and is not zero-knowledge. If something looks stale or wrong, verify it with the official source and send the details through Bloom's support channel.
