Making an Informed Choice
The 2006 Shanghai Jiao Tang University annual global university ranking had been released. Making an informed choice for a university is certainly a daunting task. There are tons of information out there, often representing a conflicting view of a university ranking. What if there is an application that can help parents, teachers, career advisors and students by aggregating these data out there and perform some cross-analysis of the data?
Or maybe a tool that help student to develop a preliminary understanding which university program suits their interests better? I think with such a tool, students and parents can have a more meaningful conversion with the university academics during Open Days.
