Cappex
Students, Parents of Guidance Counselors can use this valuable college search tool for free..
BACKGROUND
Let’s face it, researching and investigating colleges is a tedious and daunting task. The majority of college students only apply to 3 colleges, most of which are in-state. Why is that? Simply because young students have no real direction on where to begin their college search or how to go about finding relevant information. So most students end up going to schools where their friends are going or staying close to home. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could learn about a multitude of colleges in a matter of minutes? Cappex.com is such a service.
Cappex.com is an online service that allows students to create a profile which will match the student to colleges across the country that fit their personality, career path and economic status. Once the student fills out a profile and survey they will receive emails from colleges interested in them and would be a good fit.

So there's many folks asking if Cappex is really legit. Let me tell you a little something people. The reviews are awesome. It has a nice system that helps you get into schools with just a few clicks. Plus, you get to hear from some schools you never thought you would go to. They might give you more tuition than the larger schools just to get you in the door. That's a win-win. Can't beat free money. Overall, Cappex was a good resource for me and I think it would be for you as well.
Great school for anybody!
I actually WON the scholarship two months ago! My friend told me about it on campus and sure enough it was legit. She has won it before so I thought I would give it a try and won the $1,000 monthly prize. I'll be signing up again!!!
Good programs!
Not a bad school. Perfect for some, not so good for others. Worked for me though
I think the thing that scares me most about this site is that most of you are illiterate. Why are you not using capitals to begin your sentences. Some of you may need to stay in High School a bit longer.
Alissa- I'm a sophomore and don't have my SAT/ACT or final GPA but I already know the type of college I want and am willing to go out of my zone. After reading Mike's book ,I want to get ahead of the game with my NTA's and so on. Please contact me if you can. I don't know if Cappex takes students who don't have all academic facts together.
its good. it does alot of hard work for you and presents it to you in an easy manner.
amazing and very helpful!
Actually, just to throw it out there... Zinch.com in not a 'scam' scholarship site. I have won a scholarship from there and they helped a lot. So just throwing a heads up... don't judge until you know about the site and have done research on it. Or else, all the time you are putting in for scholarship hunting is being wasted.
Hope that helps some.
Cappex is a great website. Its different from other websites such as > zinch.com , which is a total scam-ish.
cappex is accurate and tell you how you -the student would fit in a specific college.
cappex is solid worth checking out for sure

I like the fact that you can type in all the areas of education you are interested in and Cappex sends your profile to the schools that fit my requirements. Good site to use when looking for colleges that can aquire your interests>>>
it looks like every other questionnaire website, not too helpful.
yea cappex is real cool. i found some scholarships to apply to and also colleges asked me if i was interested in them. it was a big stress reliever!
cool service to use when applying for schools. has lots of great info different colleges and universities.
It's vital that seniors in high school or anyone that is college bound use Cappex to find a college that best fits their career path and goals for the future. I used it to find a school that was in a different area but fit me better. Has anyone else found success using this site?
