<p>What kind of search engine are you using for your college search?</p>

<p>[College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)</p>

<p>Cross-reference results with <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation.html&lt;/a&gt;, then implement cost constraints.</p>

<p>Take a look at the students review and princeton review web sites for information and commentary on colleges you are looking into.</p>

<p>I mostly use [CollegeData:</a> College Search, Financial Aid, College Application, College Scholarship, Student Loan, FAFSA Info, Common Application](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com%5DCollegeData:”>http://www.collegedata.com)</p>

<p>Then I use the college match section to search for schools by name to get the stats: # undergrad, # grad, COA, 25/75 SATs, Gender %, etc. The same website has an EFC calculator, and a Data locker to add all your colleges of interest.</p>

<p>The best thing about the site for my use, is the Admissions Tracker section. This allows me to see a scattergram of Accepted/Denied students on a graph of SAT and GPA (but not from our high school, as Naviance does). I can then drill down to individual dots on the graph to see more information about the applicant… where they were admitted, denied, etc. according to their stats and ECs.</p>

<p>I used Collegeboard’s college match to find schools that matched my academic profile.</p>

<p>And then when I was narrowing my choices down, I used Princeton Review for basic stats about the school, College Tool Kit for admissions stats, U n i g o for detailed overviews of the schools (I highly recommend it), and College P r o w l e r for student’s opinions of different aspects of the school (I highly, highly recommend it) as well as TheU.</p>

<p>I had to type some of those sites funny because otherwise this site will censor my post.</p>
