CollegeComp - Who's going where?
 

Hello everyone!
I am posting to bring you this shameless plug! I developed a system that allows students to find out who will be attending college near them. You put in where you went to HS and where you (will) go to college, and it shows you where other kids from your college are from and where other kids from your high school went.

I want it to catch on because I think it's cool when people use things I made. There are ads, but the amount I make from them is negligible, and I really just want to see the maps fill up with dots. I previously posted in this thread, but I figure the chit-chat forum is more widely read, plus this way it has its own thread.

If you're going to be in school this fall, or in school now, please check it out! And tell your friends!

Cool concept.

I was quite surprised, however, to learn that the university I will be attending is located in Kyrgyzstan, instead of Ontario as I had previously thought. :yikes:

Hehe, I set a catchall for places I didn't have accurate zip code data for. I figured noone would look there :rolleyes: . Pretty much anything outside of the States doesn't work so well on the map.

What I get when trying to register (with a high school from the International page of the SAT list) is:

Hehe, hey look, a feature I forgot to implement! :o

It should work now. Let me know if it doesn't. Thanks!

I'm apparently in Kyrgyzstan, too; but, I don't see you (or anyone else within 5000 miles for that matter). Is there any way to get a text listing of people nearby? (since the map is quite wildly inaccurate for us outside of the US)

Re: CollegeComp - Who's going where?
 

It sticks all the unknown zips in Kyrgyzstan, because I had to make up some GPS coords on the fly and they happened to land there.

There is a text listing on people nearby right under the map. The problem comes from that noone else from your high school and noone else from your college. It only shows those people, not everyone in the system. So get some friends to join and you'll be in business :D .

I'm on Safari and it doesn't work adding a facebook link (yes I know it says on the error page that I'm using a Mac and that's the problem :P )

Looks awesome.
