CollegeApp Incendiary with "Matches"

CollegeApp® is the cutting-edge, interactive college search tool available on the App Store for Iphone and Ipod Touch.

Create by Oxford, Yale and Boston College graduate, Erin Avery, CollegeApp® incorporates a fun and interactive student-centered approach to attaining the best fit and match for each student. CollegeApp® contains 600 of the most selective colleges in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Users build a version of their ideal college characteristics using an avatar with rotating body parts that correspond to attributes such as size, location, cost, Greek life and selectivity. After the selections have been made, a list of colleges appears that match these chosen characteristics. The results page includes the most updated specifics self-reported by each college so that the information is accurate, current and pertinent. A map appears to show location with a direct link to each college website! Users can explore myriad possibilities and use CollegeApp® again and again using different combinations of college attributes.

Not interested in the playful element? Get right to work!

CollegeApp® also offers a search feature geared toward guidance counselors, educational consultants and parents alike! In a moment, users can isolate every college with Greek life, or every college located in a small town or city, or every college in a hot climate, or any number of combinations of the above. CollegeApp® helps to narrow from hundreds of great colleges to a manageable number and encourages all to focus on best-fit decisions.

Created by IECA Professional Member and member of HECA, NACAC, and NJACAC, Erin Avery of Avery Educational Resources, LLC, Fair Haven, New Jersey, CollegeApp® will be available to the public March 1.
