SuperMatch College Search The College SuperMatch™ allows students to find colleges right for them where students can search for colleges that truly meet their wants and needs. Under Colleges, click on Search Tools and then select SuperMatch College Search

SuperMatch College Search Activities for Students Students are introduced to SuperMatch™. Students complete College SuperMatch™ by defining their needs on the left side of the screen. As students choose options important to them, the list of colleges will narrow within their results screen. Students do not need to choose options from each category. The more they choose, however, the more precise their list will be for them. Students respond to three questions based off of their experience in SuperMatch™: List three search options used. Why were these search options important? What colleges appeared in their results that they had not previously considered?

SuperMatch College Search Activities for Students Before participating in SuperMatch™, have students share why they are interested in certain colleges. In a group, have students decide what options or characteristics of a college are important to them. Allow students to share their SuperMatch™ college list and the options that led them to that list. Have students log into Family Connection to manage their list of colleges.
