Alrighty I'm impressed! We are halfway through applications so I don't have much skin in the game, but figured I'd answer honestly and see what came up - it actually did generate 3 of 5 that my son is applying to, and the other 2 were on his initial list.

I tried this out of curiosity with my own information from decades ago-- I applied to 4/5 of the schools listed and went to the second one mentioned. I'm impressed.
Dania Egedi
Pretty accurate. The top 5 suggestions included 4 that we already had on our list, and I am adding the 5th one.

This was surprisingly helpful results. Well worth the time. While it is late in the game for my current senior I am seriously considering the experiences for my remaining students.

Spot on!!! Thanks Alice! 4 of the 5 we thought of... the 5th was a great new option! Suuuper easy and fun to do!
