The College Search... Intimidating No More!This app, College Match, can be very beneficial for students who are exploring different college choices. To start, you fill out information about your GPA, SAT and ACT scores, and other basics like your name. After completing your profile, you can take a little quiz that sees what kind of college you are looking for what. It will ask you if you like smaller classes or bigger classes and if you like rural town or a city. Once you have finished all of this, it will then list many different colleges that you have matched up with. The list is divided between target, reach, and safety schools. If a college catches your eye you can click on it to receive more information about the student life, your chances of getting in, the town where it is located, and more. You can then, if you want, add the school to a list of schools you are interested in. "Match points" are given to schools that match up with your interests, which helps you sort out where you would best fit in. The final aspect of this app is the checklist. All of the schools that you are interested in are in the checklist tab. For each school, there are different task that you need to complete in order to apply, such as sending transcripts, test scores, and recommendations. With this app, you can check off every completed task for each school you are applying to.
This app, despite bad reviews on the app store, is very functional, beneficial, and easy to use. There are features, like the checklist, that help students keep organized in their college search. It can be hard to know where to start your college search, but College Match helps you discover colleges you may never have even heard of before. I would recommend this app to students that are looking for colleges to apply to. Even if you have already made up your list of schools, you can still use this app to keep you organized. However, even if you think you have found all of the schools that you want to apply to, there is so much information about each school that you may discover a perfectly matched college for you. Almost every aspect, like student life and academics, about any college can be found in this one app. To discover your ideal college, click here. |
