COLLEGE SCOOP

Initial Situation:
Unlike the main site, there was no pre-existing Facebook application for MoreThanGrades.com. It would need to be built from scratch and integrated into the existing site. Based on the good relationship that they already had with N-VisionIT Interactive and the wealth of Facebook experience that that company had, it was an easy decision to make.
Our Role:
After the success in completing the main site (left over from a previous developer), MoreThanGrades approached us to develop a Facebook application for them. The intent was to integrate news feeds from the main site and give MoreThanGrades a presence on the popular social network. Users who install the application will have access to limited information from each feed, but will be encouraged to join MoreThanGrades.com and synchronize their accounts to receive full access to all of the feed content. In addition to feeds, users can access Blogs, information about MoreThanGrades, and invite friends to join.
Results:
Since the College Scoop Facebook application has been released, the user base at MoreThanGrades.com has grown exponentially.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks. I have been working with Ken and Lars over the last five months on our website and as the owners of a company, I wanted you to be aware that both Ken and Lars have been extremely helpful ...

College Scoop
RETURN TO PORTFOLIO
MoreThanGrades.com is a web-based platform for students to create customized profiles to be submitted to college admissions offers. The intent is to help students get greater exposure to various colleges that they have applied to and generally improve their chances of being accepted. It gives colleges the ability to get a feel for potential students and learn about who they are beyond just their test scores.
The idea for the site was born as a result of discussions about the college application process within the Rosich family and the company (MoreThanGrades Inc.) was founded thereafter.
As a means to help grow their user base and expand the site's use and market, MoreThanGrades Inc. sought to develop a Facebook application. The intent was to tie users of the popular social networking site into MoreThanGrades.com by giving them easy access to the regularly updated newsfeeds posted on the main site. This would be more convenient for their existing users and expand their reach to users who may never have heard of the site.
