Good resource for where school falls on open/core curriculum

Yep, just using it for a broad survey. I think D is probably ok with distribution requirements that are loose enough to get an F on this list.

What was probably the most useful for me was clicking through on the language requirements. Lots of schools that “fail” the language requirement actually do have a requirement to take classes in a foreign language in college. They just don’t require you to be proficient enough for this organization (no idea where that level is). So when I did my spreadsheet, the schools with a language requirement (even a loose one) got a little X in one of the boxes. Not a deal breaker, but a factor.

Mostly I’m looking for a way to help D weed out 99% of the colleges out there. Right now I feel like there are a couple hundred that are great fits. That’s too many to even have an intelligent conversation about, much less start filling out applications.

I’m not using this to create a final list. Just one tool to try to make it more manageable. Obviously anywhere she considers applying to or probably even visiting will get a much closer look than this survey.
