FAQs

Do you have questions about Match? Well, we have answers! We've gathered some of your most common questions about how Match works, who qualifies, and what to expect. 

What is Match?

Match is a streamlined college admissions process where colleges extend real admission and scholarship offers to students based on their academic achievements—without requiring an application, essays, test scores, or recommendation letters.

Who is eligible for Match?

Match is available to students in the final year of high school/secondary school, but many counselors choose to onboard their students during spring of their junior year to give them a head start on the admissions process. Students onboarded to Match during spring of their junior year can start receiving offers as early as August of their final year!

How can I share Match with my students?

It's easy! Counselors can complete this form, and a member of the Match team will be in touch.

Do students have to apply directly to the universities to receive offers from Match?

No! University offer students admission based on their Appily Match profile. There’s no need to submit separate applications to each school.

Do all students receive offers through Match?

Match offers are based on each university's criteria and the student's academic profile and program of interest. Not all students receive offers, but the more details students provide in their profile, the better their chances! 

How do universities make offers through Match?

Each university has its own criteria, but common factors include:

  • High school/secondary school grades (9-11)
  • Coursework and academic rigor
  • Program of interest

Do Match offers include scholarships?

Yes! Many universities include scholarships with their Match admission offers, helping to increase affordability.

Are Match offers binding?

No! Receiving an Match does not require students to enroll. Students can indicate whether they're interested in the admission offers they receive.

Is there a deadline for accepting Match offers?

Just like with traditional admission offers, Match offers include deadlines that vary by university. Students should always check the details in their offers and respond by the specified date.

Is Match free?

Match is 100% free for students, counselor, and high schools/secondary schools.

What if students don’t receive a Match offer?

If students don’t receive offers right away, don’t worry! They should keep updating their Match profiles, explore other admissions options, and check back for new opportunities. New Match offers are released every month.
