The student page consists of three areas related to the college search: My Profile, College Search and My Colleges. Please explore each area fully. In doing so, you will begin to develop your college profile and create a list of schools that match your interests and college goals.
My Profile
After you have logged into SCOIR, you will arrive at the My Profile page. This is also known as the Landing page. This is where you will find all of the personal information linked to you. In addition to academic stats, standardized test scores, and parent information found in the My Profile section, SCOIR gives students the ability to upload web links, social media posts (that are college relevant) and important documents (transcripts, resumes, a graded assignment that you might need for a college application) into a “My Drive” portal. Students can also share activities they are involved in and achievements they are proud of in this section.
College Search
SCOIR’s college search engine empowers students to find colleges that best meet their individual needs and preferences. Students can search for schools using the drop down menus. There are over ten choices for search criteria: Name, Personal Interest & Activities, Academic, Undergraduate Degrees, Location, Number of Undergrads, Acceptance Rate, School Type, Campus Setting, ROTC Programs and Application type.
My Colleges
Once a list of colleges is created, students will choose to “follow” a school so that it remains on their prospective college list. Students can save and/or share the schools they’re following with other stakeholders (parents or counselors) in the college process. SCOIR provides comprehensive information and analysis about each college on a college list. The in-depth information is found in three areas: Overview which includes many of the nuts and bolts (Academic, Admission, Student Life) information about a school, the Wall which is a visual representation of the school through photos, social media posts and school websites, and Analysis where students can compare their academic background to students who have previously applied.
