This service is pretty terrible. I changed my criteria multiple times and got essentially the same results. It seems like PR has partnered with certain schools to advertise for them. I chose international business with an interest level in online programs at a 4 and a 5 and got the same schools (which is true of me). I then changed it to investment banking with a 1 (low interest) in online schools and got the same schools with one exception. Don't waste your time.

Hi Anthony,

The tool is terrible as of now.

The results are more like a promotion of the schools that you are affiliated to rather than profile based evaluation.

Thanks and Regards,

We do not just promote the schools that advertise on our site. I am not sure how long you spent on our website, but there are some other services (free) that will allow you to find some information on schools and hopefully create some insight into your path. I hope you can find some time to really search all our services to see what it can do for you:
1. Do a "Quick Search by School Program" - look at exec programs, concentrations or even part time schools - https://www.princetonreview.com/schools/ ... earch.aspx
2. Check out the "Rankings and Lists" from our Best 301 B-Schools" where we surveyed more than 19,000 students (hear what they have to say about the schools) - https://www.princetonreview.com/business ... kings.aspx
3. Grad Degree Profile Search - If you already have a good idea of what you want to study in graduate school, type it below to learn more - https://www.princetonreview.com/GradPrograms.aspx
4. School Matching Service - you mentioned you didn't like this but we are working to make some new adjustments to the algorithm - you can also try some of the above if this has no benefit for you.
5. Opinions & Advice - just some great articles about different aspects of the process of applying to b-school - https://www.princetonreview.com/opinionA ... e=business

So I would suggest if you can take some more time to sort through some of the above services you will find some real valuable information.

For some students one service may be better than other. It really depends on each individual but I know we have some great services epsecially if you take the time (plus it does not cost you a dime).

Thank you for your honesty,
Anthony

Ritish,

See my other post listing all of the other services. I am sure you will find some more valuable to you than others. Yes some schools get some promotion but if you take all our free services you will see that you will get a great range of schools and programs (not just from the schools that advertise). And we are always working to make our tools better so I expect this new service to get increasing better as we get feedback.

Thanks,
Anthony
