Getting the most out of your college list

A tool for building an undergraduate college list. It pulls together public, official data (the federal College Scorecard and IPEDS, plus the Common Data Set) so you can search schools, sort them into Safety / Target / Reach, and save a balanced list.

Eligible schools (those passing your non-score filters) are placed relative to your academic profile. Turn on the GPA / SAT / ACT sliders to position schools: stronger scores push a school toward Safety, lower scores toward Reach. The classifier uses the better of your SAT/ACT signal, never labels a school "Safety" without a known admit rate, and keeps Ultra-selective (admit rate ≤ ~10%) as a separate set.

These are advisory positioning signals, not guarantees — admissions are holistic.

Every school shows a Data quality badge from 1 to 10 that reflects how complete and verified our data is for that school — it does not rate the school itself. Higher means more fields are filled in from more sources. Three tiers:

• Enriched — one of the ~250 curated schools with a full in-depth profile (deadlines, application platforms, per-program detail) on top of the federal data.
• Standard — federal Scorecard data plus Common Data Set facts.
• Basic — federal Scorecard coverage only (the intentionally thin long tail of the catalog).

Within the catalog we show a rating for every college rather than hiding the thinner-data ones, so you can judge coverage yourself. Hover the badge to see which sources are covered.

Get In Dream University focuses on colleges with a selective admissions process — specifically, colleges that report an admit (acceptance) rate. Open-admission schools such as community colleges admit all or nearly all applicants and generally don't report a selective admit rate, so they aren't listed. If a college you're looking for doesn't report an admit rate, it won't appear here either.

Colleges you've already saved stay on your list and still open normally.

The advisor bar answers natural-language questions about colleges, your saved list. It is grounded in this app's data through read-only tools, so it doesn't invent admit rates, deadlines, or costs. Your question text is sent to our language-model provider to generate the answer; don't include sensitive personal information in your questions.
