I just tried it with my D 23’s stats and other info (having been through the whole process with her), and the results were … nothing like what we actually did, including only one school she actually applied to (because it was an in-state safety, not someplace she really wanted to go). Then I tried it with S26’s info (granted, I have less info for him because he’s a rising sophomore), and the results were weirdly a little closer to what his list will probably look like. So then I refined my prompt for D23’s list, added a little more information, and I got the same bad list as before, more or less. My take? In the college search as in college-level work, nothing replaces your own research.
