Direct Admission through Match means students can receive real college admission offers based on academic grades – no application, essays, or recommendation letters needed. It’s free, fast, and stress-free. By creating a free profile, students can receive admission offers based on their achievements.

Create an educator account on the Match site. Please note: because counselors are given access to sensitive student data, Match has two separate verification steps. Each verification step can take 24 to 48 hours. These steps are outlined in the .pdf above or you can download them here.

Once you have created your profile, you can learn more information about next steps through the tutorials available in your profile (Click the ? icon in the top right corner to access video tutorials). Join our virtual training on August 26th to learn more Alabama-specific information.

Yes, absolutely. Match is designed to expand choices, not limit them. Students can apply directly to any college in addition to using Match. 

After creating an account, counselors have access to a dashboard with real-time insights. You’ll see who’s submitted their Match profile, who’s received offers and scholarships, where they’ve been admitted, and how students are responding. Students will have to add their counselor’s name on their profiles for counselors to get access to student direct admission data.

Students should complete their full profile, including a transcript with three years of grades to be eligible, preference section, and academic interests. The more detail, the better and strong test scores being added can result in additional scholarship awards.

Yes! These are real, verified admission offers from participating colleges. No additional application is required.
