Abstract:

A system and method for evaluating the compatibility of a prospective student with participating universities is disclosed. The system presents questions, and a specific set of answers to those questions, to universities for rating of importance. The universities rate each question and each answer to create a student profile. A prospective student responds to the set of questions, with the option of selecting more than one answer to some questions. Based on the students responses, the method uses the ratings provided by the universities to calculate a compatibility score. The compatibility score allows the student's compatibility level with each university to be compared, with higher scores indicating greater compatibility. The student is informed of the universities with the greatest compatibility and given contact information. Those universities are also informed and given student contact information. The method can be implemented with a computer, or over a computer network, including the Internet.
