Abstract

How does Machine Learning fit into the aspect of a highschooler searching for their dream college? It is widely known that being in high school is a stressful for most high school student, and creating something that can help them find the best college is important. Knowing that high school students like to participate in social activity, creating a chatting service that uses machine learning serves the purpose of helping them find their most suitable college without increasing the stress of their already stressful situation . To prove that this method is suitable for the situation, a survey asking 1000 high school students whether they would choose the chat option or traditional fill-out a form method, majority of them preferred the chat way. Based on the results supporting my thesis, I developed an application that will help high school students find their best college that consists of a chatting service that helps students achieve their goal with the help of Machine Learning.
