How matching works
Four parts, each one you can check
Data from College Scorecard and IPEDS. Bands are estimates, not admission predictions.
- Academic band
- Your SAT or ACT score against each college's middle 50% of admitted students, adjusted for its admit rate. With only a GPA we give a rougher estimate from the admit rate, because federal data has no GPA ranges.
- Cost
- The college's average net price after grants, compared with the yearly budget you chose.
- Identity fit
- If you took the College Identity Quiz, how strongly the college shows what your identity type looks for.
- Outcomes and preferences
- Graduation rate, plus the states, size, setting and college type you picked. Missing data is left out of the score, never filled in.
