Inspiration

I'm interested in knowing what personalities are valued by top universities, and I always want to give college applicants in the US more certainty because when I was applying for college, the college essay part made me frustrated.

What it does

There are main features of the app:

  • Analyze personalities expressed in your college essay and check if it is matched with the common personalities expressed in essays accepted to certain university.
  • Analyze personalities expressed in your twitter account and check if it is matched with the common personalities expressed in twitter account of students who are accepted to certain university.
  • Analyze what type of personalities and values a certain university looking for based on its accepted students' twitter and essay.

How we built it

We built it as an Flask application that use IBM Personality Insights for personality analysis and Twitter API for extracting tweets from certain user.

Challenges we ran into

We tried to format our results, but it doesn't work out as well as we expected to.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of figuring out the UI design using Bootstrap.

What we learned

We learned Bootstrap, and how to intergrate UI with the algorithms themselves.

What's next for UniInsights

Adding more college options next time.
