Choose the right college with Copilot

Searching for the right college is an exciting time in your life, but it can also be hectic. Thankfully, Copilot is here to help. From serving as a college comparison tool to helping you select a major, there are a bevy of ways this AI companion can help you find the perfect college for your specific needs.

Use Copilot as a college comparison tool

Torn between two colleges or maybe even several? Use Copilot as a college comparison tool. You can compare the quality of programs, tuition, standardized test score expectations, GPA requirements, and more.

To leverage Copilot for research and comparing colleges, ask questions like these:

• Which college has a better computer science program: [college A] or [college B]?
• I’m an AP scholar with a 1500 SAT score and a 3.8/4.00 GPA. Between [college A], [college B], and [college C], which one do I have the best chance of admission?
• I am interested in [list of colleges]. Which is the most affordable? Which one offers the most scholarship opportunities?
• Between [college A] and [college B], which has a more prominent Greek life?

If you love visuals, you can also request a college comparison chart! Give these example prompts a try:

• Create a comprehensive chart comparing the student-faculty ratio, graduation rates, and average starting salaries for graduates from the top 10 universities in the USA known for their civil engineering programs.
• Could you please generate a detailed college comparison chart focusing on tuition, fees, and additional costs for U.S. colleges renowned for their computer science programs? Include a breakdown of in-state versus out-of-state tuition where applicable.

Determine your interests and passions

The biggest deciding factor in choosing a university may be what you want to major in, but let’s get real: you might not know what college program you want to pursue. Luckily, Copilot can suggest areas of study that may pique your interest. For help brainstorming majors and paths to follow, try these prompts:

• Based on my interests in [subjects or hobbies], what college majors should I consider?
• Can you suggest unique or emerging fields of study for someone with a passion for [specific interests or skills]?
• I enjoy subjects like [subjects], but I'm unsure about a specific major or career. What are potential college programs that align with these interests, and what careers could they lead to?
