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.
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.
We’ve got two new tools for you to use on the site now. The first is “Browse Colleges”. With this tool, you can browse (and search) through the list of thousands of colleges to see stats on your favorite schools.
The second tool we have for you is “Search Profiles”. This allows you to search through the profiles of current members to see how you compare.
To access both of these tools, click on the “College Menu”. As always, if you have any questions or comments, make a comment on this blog or a note in the forums.
