My Chances.net College Recommendation Engine™

Harnessing the wisdom of 200,000 college applications



College search engines work well when you already know what you want. But what if you don't know which colleges you should be searching for? With the College Recommendation Engine™, you can discover colleges based on a powerful new technique. First, describe whom you'd like to get advice from (e.g., students from California interested in Business, Pre-med, or Computer Science). Then, tell us about what types of colleges interest you (e.g., colleges in California, Massachusetts, or New York). Finally, we'll run our algorithms and you'll get instant, personalized college recommendations. (FAQ)

Step 1: Choose your advisors

Are you most interested in getting advice from other people interested in English? Or maybe you want to get some ideas from people from the midwest with low SAT scores who are interested in Computer Science. Here you can choose the types of people whose suggestions we will transform into your own personalized college recommendations.
