College Information Profiles - Overview

The College Information Profile can be accessed multiple ways:

• Use the Guided Search tool and select any schools on the results page
• Select the "i" info icon adjacent to the school name on the My College List or List Summary pages.  The schools profile will open up in a new browser tab.

The profile pages organize data provided by WinterGreen Orchard House and the GuidedPath research team and provide a summary of key aspects of each college. 

 
Tabs that may be available on the school's profile page:

1. The school information tab is organized into sections, with each section listed on the left hand side (General Information, Academic Profile, Admissions, etc.). Clicking on the section names jumps directly to that information in that section.  

Much of the school information comes from Wintergreen Orchard House*, and the data is updated each September and ongoing, as appropriate.

• Hover the cursor over parts of the graph for additional information.
• Select the 3 bar icon in the upper right hand corner of any graph to download or print the graph

• Some of the charts, identified under the title, have additional information that can be seen by selecting bar chart series.
• In the bar charts, select items in the key at the bottom of the graph to remove them or add them into the view.
