Is MatchMyMajor.ai free?
Yes — you can generate up to 5 match scores per month for free. Unlimited matches and AI Advisor access require a Premium subscription.
How accurate are the match scores?
Match scores are AI-generated estimates based on publicly available data. They indicate fit and likelihood of acceptance, but are not guarantees. Always verify data directly with colleges.
What data sources do you use?
We use IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System), a federal government database updated annually with data reported by all accredited colleges.
Can I update my profile after signing up?
Absolutely. You can edit your profile and preferences at any time, and your match scores will update automatically.
