Got into more than one school? That's the good news. Now comes the hard part — actually choosing. NarrowIt is the only app built for THE decision: which school you're actually going to attend. Not where to apply. Not how to get in. Where to go. YOUR PRIORITIES, YOUR RANKING Start with a quick Vibe Check — swipe through real scenarios to uncover what actually matters to you. NarrowIt translates your gut instincts into weighted priorities across 7 dimensions: Cost, Academics, Career Outcomes, Campus Life, Location, Diversity, and Size. Then it scores every school you've been admitted to using real data from the U.S. Department of Education — 7,000+ schools, updated annually. Drag the sliders and watch your ranking shift in real time. No black boxes. No mystery algorithms. Just transparent math you can see and control. THE MONEY STUFF College costs are confusing on purpose. NarrowIt breaks down what each school actually costs your family — after aid, after scholarships, after the sticker shock wears off. • Net price by income bracket • 4-year total projection • Loan repayment calculator with adjustable rates and terms • Monthly payment in real terms ("That's a car payment. Every month. For 10 years.") • Salary-to-debt ratio by career path • Parent-ready cost comparison you can text to Mom ASK YOUR PEOPLE Can't decide alone? Create a poll, share the link, and let friends and family vote on which school you should pick. Watch results come in live. See who predicted your choice before you even made it. TRACK YOUR JOURNEY • Daily Pulse check-ins — track how your confidence shifts over time • Journal entries and campus visit logs • Weekly digest showing your decision arc • Sensitivity analysis — see exactly what would flip your ranking DECISION DAY When you're ready, lock it in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Welcome to UGA at none against Narrowit's 1. Welcome to UGA also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 3). Narrowit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narrowit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Welcome to UGA asks for nothing beyond the download.
Narrowit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Welcome to UGA has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
