Today’s website pick is an interactive college dashboard allowing you to narrow down the college list using Forbes Top Colleges of 2015. It’s user friendly and allows you to narrow down your choices by using specific criteria.

Ever wished you could narrow down your list of colleges to apply to? This interactive dashboard displays Forbes rankings of America’s top colleges for the year 2015. Narrow down the list of 650 schools by filtering on state, URL, population, and gender rates. Data can further be evaluated by restricting SAT scores, ACT scores, costs, percentages of financial aid per college, student populations, and student faculty ratios. For some schools, the dashboard displays Forbes Financial’s ratings, as well as the region/states of various different colleges presented in the dashboard. Now students can narrow down their top schools of choice with a few clicks of a mouse!

You can move your mouse over a state and immediately see how many of Forbes Top Colleges are in the state, and by clicking on the state itself you will see the actual list, along with website links and pertinent data. While I don’t normally recommend using a one particular list to narrow down your college choices, this tool can be used to view colleges that might be on your list.
