<p>I think the program is fascinating to look at and is interesting in a similar way that the online US News Report is when you click the titles at the top of the columns to reshuffle the listings of the schools, but I really don't think it offers all that much help in college applications. It may be good for matching the average student with the average college, but it doesn't help realistically with the top places because the system doesn't work like that.<br>
If you were just starting the search and you knew zilch it would be helpful to match a kid with a B average and 1200 SATs to a school in the right ball park but I honestly don't think it's worth the presumably large amount of money our school paid for the program. You can find the same information in the college guide books- I don't think the figures for "our" school were significantly different.</p>
