How to use this

This is a first-pass research tool, not a final college list.

The recommendations balance interests, location, campus type, school size, affordability, outcomes, and admission realism. Results are limited to colleges with reported admission-rate data that also match the site's college tier reference data.

01

Be honest with inputs

Use current grades and test scores. A realistic profile gives better reach, target, and likely signals.

02

Choose multiple interests

Select all areas that could genuinely connect to majors, projects, clubs, or career curiosity.

03

Choose what matters first

The tool opens preference choices only for the areas the student says are relevant.
