What is the College Toolkit Facebook App?

If I were to design a Facebook Application, it would look something like College Toolkit. Facebook users getting ready to go to college can use College Toolkit to find out more information about the colleges they’re interested in as well as the people who are applying to those schools. The app has a powerful search tool which allows you to narrow schools down by different criteria like size of school, state, and major, just to name a few. You can save schools to what developers call a “personal briefcase area.” After saving a school in your profile, you can see where other Facebook users are planning on attending.

Some of the fun features include college “shout outs” and “trashing.” Basically you can let your Facebook friends know which schools you like, and rag on your friends for picking schools that you don’t like. They also have a College-ology quiz that’s pretty fun.

 College Toolkit App Pros

• Nicely integrated into Facebook
• Great college research school; extensive database of colleges
• Leverages social network by allowing you to see what other Facebook users are planning on attending the school you want to go to
• Keeps the app fun with the shout outs and trash

College Toolkit Cons

• It would be cool if you could create a college application profile with your GPA and SAT scores. You can then compare yourself to other Facebook users who are also wanting to go to the schools you’ve picked
