College fit calculator

CampusMatch is a free college fit calculator that turns “which college is right for me?” into a number you can actually reason about. You answer a short survey about what matters to you — cost, academics, career outcomes, campus, location, social life — and it scores colleges against your priorities, producing a 0–100 fit score for each.

How it works

• Take a ~5-minute survey (no account needed).
• CampusMatch scores each school on 25+ signals across six categories, weighted by how much you said each matters.
• You get a 0–100 fit score per school, with a breakdown of exactly where each one wins and loses points.

What makes the score trustworthy

Every objective number comes from federal and public data — College Scorecard, IPEDS — not paid rankings or marketing. Cost is scored on real net price for your family's income band, and you can enter your actual financial-aid offers for a true net-cost comparison. The result is a fit score grounded in sourced data, not vibes.

Two ways to use it

If you're still figuring out where to apply, CampusMatch Discovery builds a balanced list from every U.S. college. If you're choosing between schools you got into, CampusMatch Decision ranks them head-to-head.
