New onboarding quiz for personalized setup

When you sign up for Blueprint, a short quiz now tailors your dashboard to where you are in the college process. Freshman exploring? Senior finalizing your list? We adjust accordingly.

By Thiago Cavalcanti

A sophomore just starting to think about colleges and a senior submitting applications next month have completely different needs. But until now, every new Blueprint user saw the same empty dashboard. The onboarding quiz changes that.

What the quiz does

Four questions: your grade, how far along you are in the college search, what you need the most help with, and whether you have a school list started. Based on your answers, we configure your dashboard. Sophomores see the Discovery Quiz front and center. Juniors get Activity Studio and Essay Coach prominently. Seniors see the Deadline Tracker and application checklist first.

We also pre-populate helpful content based on your stage. If you're early in the process, we surface guides on building a school list. If you're deep in applications, we surface essay tips and deadline reminders. The goal is that your first session on Blueprint feels productive, not overwhelming.
