My Strengths
What you're actually good at, in your own words and from the assessments you've taken — so you can name it when it counts.
Vanderbilt has more resources than anyone can keep track of — and almost no one tells you which door to knock on, or when. Foresight knows what's here, learns what you care about, and tells you what's worth your time this week.
Built for first-generation students, by the Data Science Institute with the First View program.
First View is organized around four parts of finding your footing. Foresight follows the same shape, so what you learn in the program keeps going all year.
What you're actually good at, in your own words and from the assessments you've taken — so you can name it when it counts.
The people around you: the ones you're assigned, the ones you choose through clubs and orgs, and the family you brought with you.
Research, internships, study abroad, fellowships, careers — what exists, who runs it, and when you actually need to apply.
Requirements, majors and tracks, plus the help that already exists for you — the Writing Studio, tutoring, office hours.
Foresight isn't a chatbot guessing about your school. It reads a knowledge base built from public Vanderbilt sources and refreshed on a schedule.
Academic deadlines, campus events, club events and application windows in one place — with plain-language explanations of what "add/drop" actually means.
Every building, who's inside it, and what you'd go there for. Directions to your next class in one tap.
Emailing a professor, following up after a career fair, raising something with a roommate. First drafts for the messages that are hard to begin.
Timely, specific, and based on what you've told it you care about — not another newsletter you'll skim.
Ask anything about Vanderbilt and get an answer grounded in real sources, with links so you can see where it came from.
What you've explored and done, kept for you. Worth a great deal by the time you're writing an application years from now.
A project of Vanderbilt's Data Science Institute and the First View program, built with the 2026 Data Science for Social Good summer team.
Make an account, tell it a little about yourself, and see what's actually worth your time.
