Tell us what matters
A ~5-minute survey covering academics, social life, campus experience, location, finances, and more.
Get your ranked results
Our proprietary multi-factor scoring engine weighs each school against your answers across 6 categories — and shows you exactly where each school earned (or lost) points.
Decide together
Bring your parents in.
The people helping you decide are usually your parents. Add them to your list or report and they see everything you see, keep their own notes, and weigh in. If anyone unlocks it, it’s unlocked for everyone — one payment covers the whole family.
They see what you see
Your scores, your list, your reasoning. No re-explaining it over text.
Their own notes
Everyone keeps their own take, side by side. No one writes over anyone else.
One payment, shared
Whoever pays unlocks it for the whole group — pay once, not twice.
What gets scored
Every category is weighted by how much you said it matters.
Academic
Selectivity, workload, class sizes, and research opportunities
Social
Party scene, Greek life, athletics, diversity, and campus culture
Campus
Dining, dorms, safety, facilities, and campus beauty
Location
Setting, surrounding area, weather, and distance from home
Career
Post-graduation earnings and outcomes for your intended major
Financial
Net annual cost and overall financial aid generosity
