How does the college list maker work?
Our college list maker looks at five key factors: GPA, intended major, tuition budget, location preference, and acceptance rates. By combining these with national college data, we generate matches that balance academic fit, affordability, and student experience.
Is the college list maker free to use?
Yes! It's always free to use Appily's tools.
Can I save and compare my college lists?
Yes. And our AI algorithm will continue suggesting schools that you might not know about.
How accurate are the college matches?
Since we use government data like that from IPEDS and Federal Student Aid, as well as information we source from our hundreds of college partners, the college list you get is very well aligned with your interests and preferences.
