Cialfo offers a diverse range of data for students searching for colleges and universities. To increase the quality of our database, we have now also partnered with QS World University Ranking.

Cialfo offers two opportunities for students and counselors researching schools to state the Likelihood of a possible acceptance into a university. One way is a Cialfo generated algorithm called the College Fit Calculator and other is Counselor Recommendation of Likelihood.

Cialfo's Scattergram feature offers students and counselors a clear, intuitive 'map' of real university admissions decisions. The graph visualizes past acceptances, denials, and waitlist outcomes based on each student's high school GPA and SAT or ACT scores.

The Applications feature on Cialfo helps students, counselors, and schools manage university applications efficiently. It provides a structured way to track applications, submission statuses, and admission results.

From dream universities to safety universities, Bookmarks is the place for students to organize their Longlist, Shortlist, and Applying lists, and have meaningful conversations with family and counselors to start planning their university application journey.

The post-secondary outcome of a student after they have graduated or has left the school, for instance, taking a Gap Year or pursuing an Apprenticeship.
