Field notes
Users can choose up to three interests; the page groups matching schools into four selectivity bands and offers examples including entrepreneurship programs at Tulane, Brown, Wake Forest, and Arizona State. A separate fit flow accepts GPA, course rigor, and optional SAT/ACT scores, then labels schools Reach, Target, or Likely; the site explicitly says these are not admissions probabilities. It also says inputs stay on the device and are not uploaded.
