Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
generating, by a server, comprising a computing device coupled to a network and including at least one processor executing instructions within memory, a first Graphical User Interface (GUI) comprising:
a plurality of survey questions, each associated with a degree factor in a plurality of degree factors stored in a database; and
a factor rating GUI component for each of the plurality of survey questions, the factor rating indicating a level to which the degree factor applies to a user;

transmitting, by the server, the first GUI to a first client device;
receiving, by the server from the first client device, a first response comprising the factor rating for each of the plurality of survey questions, wherein the first response is associated with a first user;
identifying, by the server within the first response, at least one high factor rating comprising the factor rating exceeding a factor rating threshold stored in the database;
executing, by the server, a database command selecting, from the database, at least one degree identifier sharing at least one common high factor rating between the first response and at least one response stored in the database, wherein the at least one response is associated with a second user;
generating, by the server, a candidate degree list comprising the at least one degree identifier;
generating, by the server, a second GUI comprising the candidate degree list; and
transmitting, by the server, the second GUI to the first client device.
