The following college research tools are available in Naviance:
SuperMatch™ college search- a visually-based search that helps students find the right fit for college. Students select from a list of college decision factors and rank their importance. As the student makes selections, the best match colleges appear with information about why the college(s) is a good match. Students can save their searches and add colleges to the Colleges I’m Thinking About list from here.
College Match- this tool uses colleges on the student’s application list and shows colleges that match those colleges. There are three components:
Colleges Looking for Students Like You, which compares against students at the high school;
Colleges Other Students Like, which compares against students in the Naviance Network;
Colleges That Have Accepted Students Like You, which compares against students at the high school.

Scattergrams- a graphical view of application outcomes (accepted, denied, waitlisted) at a college for recent Monument Mountain applicants using GPA and SAT scores. Students can gauge their chances of acceptance by comparing personal GPA/SAT numbers with those of successful applicants. If there is not enough data, the scattergram may not show results. This tool pulls from historical data of MMRHS graduates.

The results can be filtered ordered by name, location, deadline, or last updated. Naviance has a partnership with TeenLife.com, a public database of enrichment programs.
