The research methodology used was literature study, data collection, Simple Additive Weighting and Profile Matching calculations, application design, testing and evaluation. The results obtained from this research are the application of the SAW and Profile Matching methods to determine outstanding students resulting in preferences with the highest score of 1 for the SAW method and the highest score of 5 for the Profile Matching method. These two methods can be applied in selecting outstanding students to help decision making because both this method produces the same best alternative
