<p>I just thought it would be interesting to see the correlation between Academic Index and college admission results. Post your AI and the colleges that accepted/rejected/waitlisted you.</p>
<p>Here's the AI calculator:
<a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index3.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index3.htm</a></p>
<p>Good thread idea. I think I'll bump it. <em>Bump</em></p>
<p>It's probably going to take a while, but if you really want to know, a good way is to go to a college's forum and find the accepted/waitlisted/rejected data. Use the student's info and convert it to AI. See if they got accepted. Voila!</p>
<p>AI is ridiculous! Use this thread to prove it! BUMP!</p>
<p>AI: 213</p>
<p>1510 math/verbal, 800/770/730 SAT II's, rank: 2nd decile (extremely competitive public)</p>
<p>Accepted: UC's, USC, Cornell, Stanford
Waitlist: Duke WUSTL
Rejected: Harvard Yale</p>
<p>bump--bump</p>
<p>AI: 225</p>
<p>1440 M+V, 800/770/740 SATIIs, rank: 3/~500 (not very competitive public)</p>
<p>Accepted: Cornell, UVA (out of state), William and Mary (out of state), U. Maryland Coll. Park (in state)</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Harvard, Johns Hopkins</p>
<p>Rejected: Princeton, Brown (This app I completely messed up :p )</p>
<p>bump it up</p>
<p>Ok i think this could at the very least be interesting to see.</p>
<p>AI: 218
SAT I 1450 (700V/750M); SAT II 700/730/740; Rank 3/300 (public)</p>
<p>Accepted: Georgetown, Cornell, Tufts, William and Mary (OOS), BC (Honors), BU (Honors), Holy Cross</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Brown, Bowdoin</p>
<p>Rejected: Dartmouth, Duke</p>
<p>232
9 of 9
How hard is this to get?
a 9 of 9 at a state university certainly is not the same for MIT
Can anyone tell me how this is used?</p>
<p>AI: 234</p>
<p>Accepted: Penn, Ohio State (in-state)</p>
<p>Waitlisted: None</p>
<p>Rejected: None</p>
<p>AI: 212 5 out of 9</p>
<p>Accepted: UVA (OOS), William and Mary (OOS), Davidson, Tulane, TCNJ (in-state)
Waitlisted: UNC (OOS) got accepted eventually
Rejected: none</p>
<p>Can anyone explain how the AI is used, if at all, and at which colleges? I believe the AI came out of some Ivy League college like a decade ago so whether any ivies use it still is uncertain. I also know that maybe eight years ago, Chicago used a system that ranked each applicant based on academics (1-5) and activities/talents/character (A-E) so each file gets sorted by multiple counselors into boxes with 1A getting express approval by the dean, and then the committee would debate people that don't neatly fit a category. Then with a tricky formula they determine where to set the acceptance line. Acceptances back then fell in the mid ranges like the 3+B+.</p>
<p>I applied to college several years ago and rediscovered this site. Brings back weird and creepy memories.</p>
<p>AI: 233 (9 of 9)
Accepted: Penn, Columbia, Stanford, Brown, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD
Waitlisted: none
Rejected: Caltech, Princeton</p>
<p>Haha it doesn't work for me... maybe because I never took the SATIIs?</p>
<p>This calculator is stupid. I don't think there will be too much of a correlation.</p>
<p>This is a great idea. Bump it!</p>
