College Fit Project
Rankings tell you what’s prestigious; we tell you your match
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.
We sent 3 kids off to college using a Google spreadsheet and compiling a list of 'what's important' for each kid. This took time to track down unique factors each student was interested in. So, we built an app! You can use AI to come up with your own custom factors and see a unique score for each college. Find the best fit!
love how the scorecard actually lets you weight things like climate and campus size alongside the usual stats, feels way more honest than those ranking lists that pretend one size fits everyone
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?
Have you thought about adding a comparison view that lets you put two or three schools side by side with their scores broken down by category. Right now it feels like I'd need to open each scorecard separately to actually weigh them against each other.
Honestly the custom criteria with AI evaluation is a nice touch, like you can actually weight what matters to you instead of just sorting by rank. Wish I'd had this when I was applying.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
love how you let people weight their own factors instead of shoving rankings down their throats, and the climate slider is honestly such a smart touch
