Terms of Service

Last updated: October 19, 2026 · See also our Privacy Policy.

1. What Shortlisted is

Shortlisted is a college-admissions tool. You enter your academic profile — grades, curriculum, test scores, and target countries/fields of study — and we generate university match tiers, acceptance-odds estimates, and per-school analyses. Estimates are generated with the help of an AI model and grounded in named, citable sources (see the "Sourced from" section on the landing page) — they are informational only, not a guarantee of any admissions outcome, and should not replace advice from your school counselor or the universities themselves.

2. Account & eligibility

You need an account to use Shortlisted, either by email/password or by signing in with Google. You're responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for any activity under your account. Shortlisted is intended for prospective students (typically high-school age); if you are under 18, you should have a parent or guardian's permission to use it. Do not create more than one account, or use false information at sign-up.

3. Your data

What we collect, why, and who we share it with is covered in full in our Privacy Policy — including what data Google shares with us if you sign in with Google.

4. Fair use & account suspension

To keep the service free and fast for everyone, AI-powered features (match runs, school lookups, profile-strength checks) are rate-limited per account. Accounts found abusing the service — automated scraping, deliberately circumventing rate limits, creating multiple accounts to evade them, or any other bad-faith use — may be suspended, with the reason communicated to you directly.

5. Changes to these terms

We may update this page as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top; continued use of Shortlisted after a change means you accept the update.
