Another College Search Option

We have a college search on Facebook that allows users to search for college using a dozen criteria at once. We also allow you to view other users interested in the same colleges and see who else from your high school is using the College Toolkit app.

We provide in-depth college profiles right on Facebook, giving users access to admissions criteria, SAT scores, and more. Students can even request information from the schools.
