So going through the application process this year made me realize just how hard it is to identify the schools you want to apply to, as so many of the schools use a mentorship model. There's no searchable database (that I'm aware of) that allows people to look for programs via professor interests. The closest that exists right now are the subject area listings for each school in the Insider's Guide, but I didn't find that to be too helpful in really narrowing down schools (and I identified schools later that hadn't been listed under my subject area in the book). Plus, it's only in book form so it is incapable of being completely up to date. So my questions are:
1. Is an online searchable database of professors something that you think people would use?
2. If so, would you be willing to pay to access it? How much would be a reasonable price? (Bear in mind that I would have to charge something for it in order to cover server fees, development costs, and the time/manpower used to keep it updated)
I'm also interested in any thoughts you might have about the idea in general. Thanks!
