Wanting a college and being well matched are different things.
Help students look beyond what appeals to them—and understand where they are likely to operate at their best.
College Sort is a dynamic, web-based platform that helps students and college counselors evaluate colleges and work through the thinking behind their choices.
Sort connects what students want from college with how they tend to learn, engage and operate at their best. Our Student × Environment framework places students and colleges on the same scales—across academic opportunities, how classes are taught, social life and campus setting.
Students build a profile, compare colleges and weigh trade-offs. As they learn more, they can revisit their priorities and revise their list—with a clearer basis for their choices and more focused conversations with counselors and families..
Bring more to the counseling you already do.
Sort gives students and counselors a shared framework for examining colleges in relation to the individual student. Student profiles and college comparisons help focus research, sharpen questions for campus visits and bring priorities and trade-offs into counseling conversations.
Become an early school or IEC partner.
We’re introducing College Sort through independent schools and IEC practices. Early partners receive onboarding support, explore how Sort works within their counseling programs and help shape its development.
