College Compare Allows students to choose colleges from the Naviance database and compare scores and GPA to students at the school who applied to the college.

Super. Match A visually-based search that helps students find the right fit for college. Students select from a list of college decision factors and rank their importance. As the student makes selections, the best match colleges appear with information about why the college(s) is a good match.

College Maps Shows students where colleges are located. A visual representation can give students insight into colleges they are interested in. Maps of special groups (ie: Catholic schools, Ivy League, etc. ) are also available in this feature.

College Lookup This tool allows students to find specific colleges. From here the student can view the college profile, which has the same valuable information that you can view in Naviance.
