Inspiration
Most college matching websites simply use SAT and GPA, while important, are not the only factors in the college admission process
How we built it
We web scrapped a bunch of data from websites of colleges and prep scholar
Challenges we ran into
Colleges really don't like it when you try to go to their website a bunch and, as it turns out, not all colleges format format the website the same. So the amount of data, quality, and location, all varied widely.
Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned
Filling Django databases with Fixtures how to get around web scrapping polices on websites
