I posted the “highest rankings” above, but I do agree with you, @Data10, that ChatGPT is a useful tool, especially for getting names of schools to dig into a bit more.

One approach I’ve used a bunch with ChatGPT is to say something like “What commonalities are there in the schools in this list? If you were to expand the list by five schools, which would you pick?” and to then feed in my kids’ current list of schools (or a subset).

I just tried it again, adding just the five schools they clicked with the most, and the “commonalities” were really on point for the aspects of the schools that have been appealing, and of the five schools it recommended, two were ones that they applied to (that I had left off the list), and one was a school that I found out about late in the game and feel like they would have liked if we’d learned about it earlier.

I think it’s a good tool.
