Find the college that's right for you — not just the highest-ranked one. Build a personalized scorecard using 40+ data factors including tuition, acceptance rate, campus size, climate, and AI-evaluated custom criteria. Free to start.
What happens with the AI evaluated custom criteria part, can I type in something specific like "strong puppetry or theater program" and have it actually score schools on that?
@talhakhalidmtk Yes, you can! An AI factor can either be evaluated as a Yes/No (Does the school have a puppetry program?) or can be a scale from 1-10 (Rate based on how close the school is to a ski mountain)
Would love to see a "compare side-by-side" view where you can stack three or four schools against each other with the scorecard factors lined up. Right now it seems like you review them one at a time, and when you're deep in the search that back and forth gets tedious. A split-screen comparison would make the tradeoffs between, say, a cheaper in-state option and a pricier out-of-state pick way easier to weigh.
@toprak4irg Actually, there is a side-by-side view. The free version allows evaluation of a single school while the paid version allows up to 50 schools.
It would be really helpful if the scorecard could factor in scholarship and net price data instead of just sticker tuition, since that's what most families actually pay. Also maybe a "compare side by side" view between two finalist schools would make decision time way easier.
honestly this looks really useful for anyone feeling overwhelmed by college lists. one thing i'd love to see is a comparison view that lets you put two or three schools side by side on the same scorecard so you can actually see where they differ at a glance instead of clicking back and forth
Finally tried this and was surprised by how much the custom criteria feature actually changes the rankings, not just the basics like tuition or size. Felt more useful than the usual ranking sites.
Built a quick scorecard for my nephew and was surprised how much the climate and campus size filters mattered once I started adjusting them. Wish I'd had this when I was applying.
