SuperMatch™ College Search - Over 4 Million Served!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I just got the latest stats in, and wanted to share exciting news about the explosive growth of our SuperMatch™</a> College Search. Since we introduced SuperMatch last fall, we've had more than 4 million college searches performed.</p>

<p>Even more amazing to me, due to increased use on CC as well as partner sites like Collegeview and Naviance, we are now seeing well over a million searches per month. </p>

<p>We're constantly improving SuperMatch with feedback from CC members, so if you see something we can make better, just post your feedback [here[/url</a>]. Our next version will roll out later this month, but we're already looking at what to improve next.</p>

<p>When we started this project, we set out to reinvent college search by incorporating fuzzy matching, instant results updating, and a lot more.If you haven't tried SuperMatch yet, give it a whirl. ("Reinvent" isn't hyperbole in this case, we actually have a patent pending on some of SM's advanced features!)

<p>It is an excellent program; I have used it myself and love the UI. I’ll be sure to give feedback.</p>

<p>yeah… i’d be willing to bet that over half of the volume of searches is coming from a very small percentage of anal-retentive parents and freshmen in high school, given the personalities on this site. </p>

<p>but it’s a great app</p>

<p>It’s also accurate: I put in the “answers” for schools I know and it indeed found the right schools. It has a great UI!</p>

5

<p>I just don’t like how it tells you what schools are a match for you before you finish. I can’t help but to sway my opinions in favor of the schools I like.</p>

6

<p>^ I think that’s one beauty of it, the dynamic changes, so you can see which schools are influenced by small criteria changes. E.g., raise or lower GPA and SAT, and see schools move around. I think it’s cool! :)</p>

7

<p>Yes, I like that feature. There’s no annoyance of hitting search a bunch of times.</p>

8

<p>It would be interesting to see how many that actually use it wind up transferring to another school after a year or two.</p>

9

<p>One fun exercise I found is to “tweak” the items so that a particular school I have in mind rises to the top, which then shows the most similar schools below.</p>

10

<p>One observation - you you indicate that Marching Band is a “must-have,” you still get lots of schools suggested that have no marching band.</p>

<p>I love this match tool <3 !!! It’s one of the best I’ve ever used (and I’ve used a lot!).</p>
