College Profiles
Pick the perfect college with pizazz.
Our college profiles tell you all you need to know to choose the right school for you, from the average SAT® scores of accepted students to the hottest hangout spots on campus. Plus, we built a tool to help match you with your dream school. If you want to access to the whole enchilada of our college resources, head on over to College 101. What's that? Huh? Oh. You're welcome.
P.S. Did we miss your school? Email us at support@shmoop.com and we'll add it to our list faster than you can say "Shmoop it."
Shmoop's College Profiles
These profiles, written from the perspective of the schools themselves, provide insider info about what's hot and what's not at each school. Dig Birkenstocks and environmental ed? Better head to Brown. Excel at almost everything? Princeton might be the school for you. If you're curious about your chances of getting in, check out the stats on admitted students' test scores. But we know what you're really dying to learn: which Harry Potter house would each school get sorted into? Our college profiles answer this question, too.
