This allow for cities with multiple schools to show up
properly on the map.
User Profile, Maps, and Better Organization (3/4/2007)
You've asked for it and we've listened. You can now click
on the Applicant Type on each result page to get a public profile
page for that applicant.
If you click on the university link on the major page, you
can now see a map of all the schools offering that program
as well as the last notification. For example, take a look at
University for English Major Page
. If a school offers both a Masters and PhD program, both
would be listed with seperate notification dates and program page.
Similiarly for the program page, the map has been moved out.
So on the
Yale Political Science PhD program page,
I can see the other schools offering this program with
useful stats such as acceptance rate.
These new enahncement can be very useful. For example, if you
are looking for schools that offers a Political Science PhD.
On that page you can find the schools that are nearby where
you would liketo be for the next so many years and
likelyhood of you being accepted.
We hope these new enhancements will help
you navigate the site more easily. Enjoy!
Early March Jumbo Update (3/2/2007)

university map page.
If you are a international student this will give you a
better understanding of where the schools are located.
The program pages have been enhanced
again to give a link to other school's program page
as well as when the last notification was sent out.
The fonts used in the live graph have been updated so it doesn't
have the squished look.
The writing test score has been moved a non-decimal type and you
can now delete test scores in your profile page if you have misentered
some info.
We hope you enjoy these changes and find them useful.
