Setting up your student profile
Add your GPA, test scores, and interests so Blueprint can personalize your experience.

Your student profile powers everything in Blueprint, from college matches to essay suggestions. The more complete it is, the better your recommendations will be.
Profile sections
Your profile covers several key areas. Academics include your GPA (both weighted and unweighted), class rank, and course rigor. You can optionally add test scores such as SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Your extracurriculars section captures activities, leadership roles, and hours per week. Finally, preferences let you specify things like location, size, campus culture, and intended major so that Blueprint can tailor your matches.
Keeping your profile current
Update your profile as your grades change or you add new activities. Editing your profile does not rerun College Matchmaker on its own, so when something significant changes, retake the Matchmaker quiz to bring your list back in sync.
Test scores are always optional. Many colleges are test-optional and Blueprint adjusts its matching accordingly.
