Search by selectivity ranking

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Today we’ve added a new option for you to browse by: Selectivity Ranking. As you might know by now, we’ve developed a formula to give each school a selectivity score based on how difficult it is to get into that school.

Now, we’ve ranked the colleges and given them Selectivity Rankings. You can ‘Browse Colleges’ by these rankings, showing you the most difficult to the least difficult schools to get into.

Site search now working

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Our Google-enhanced site search (at the top right corner of each page) has been nonfunctional for the last few days, but it’s fixed now.

It might come in handy if you’re doing something like searching for ‘UCLA’ but can’t find it in our college list because our built-in search just isn’t that good yet (but we’re working on that).

Example:
Go to ‘Browse Colleges’
Search for ‘UCLA’
Results: 0

Now type UCLA into the search at the top of this page, and you’ll be whisked to the right place.

What doesn’t work for you?

Are there things on this site that just don’t work the way you think they should? Are we missing something? Have we designed something in a stupid way, or left something out that you need?
