A lead matching system selects and ranks candidate leads for school admissions officers. The system records personal and academic information for each candidate as well as expressions of interest from that candidate toward one or more schools. The system also records information describing each school, such as its academic profile, location, class size, athletic program quality, and so on. The system also records each school's immediate demographic preferences for an incoming class of students. The system analyzes candidate and school information to generate a set of scored candidate leads. The system then identifies a subset of leads for each school based on its demographic preferences, and ranks the leads. The system provides a subset of ranked leads to each school.

An income-sharing method where service users can share their experiences among themselves for a price, and other users can also benefit from their shared experiences for a fee. In the income-sharing method, a user sends a question and an offer to a chosen expert, where the offer includes a price for the answer and other conditions. Once the expert and the user agree on the price for the answer and the other conditions, an answering process is initiated. When the question is a publicly asked question, users other than the expert and the user related to the question can pay a preview price to preview the answer given to the question and interact with the question, and an income arising from the preview of the other users is shared between the expert and the user related to the question according to the offer agreed upon.

A secure education system including a secure education application, an education content database and a student profile database having a plurality of student profiles that include identification data that identifies a person associated with the student profile and evaluation data that valuates an academic proficiency of the person. The application both providing and dynamically adjusting the educational content based on an associated student profile of a user as well as securely determining the identity of the user in order to validate interactions of the user with the educational content. The verified identity and academic proficiency of a person can be compiled into an academic profile and submitted to academic institutions to support the user as a candidate for admissions.

Systems and methods providing centralized admission application management, processing, control, and data exchanges for authorized users. A server or cloud-based system accessible from clients over a data network provides a universal application form, receives supplemental information in association with a student application, and authenticates and grants third party users and their access to records and forms associated with the applicant and provide additional information or records in support of the applicant's application to prospective schools. The system registers applicants, schools, and teachers as users, enables access to forms and data associated with applicant applications for admission to prospective schools, receives applicant information into a universal application form from which prospective schools can retrieve information associated with applicants, receives evaluation forms from teachers, provides application information and supplemental information to prospective schools, and authenticates and grants third party access to information associated applicants.

A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, by a computing device, a user profile of a plurality of user profiles associated with a profession, wherein the user profile may be associated with a user. The user profile may be analyzed. It may be determined that the user is eligible to receive an assessment based upon, at least in part, analyzing the user profile. The assessment may be administered to the user. Answers for the assessment provided by the user may be recorded. A score for the assessment may be generated based upon, at least in part, the answers for the assessment provided by the user. A recommended course of a plurality of courses for the user to receive may be identified based upon, at least in part, the score for the assessment.
