<p>What do you think of their chance percentages for any given college? Any accuracy at all? I don't see how they can give you a prediction without considering your EC's but it's kind of interesting to see how you stack up. :)</p>
<p>It was very accurate for me. Every college it gave me below a 40% at I got rejected to, I got waitlisted at every college it gave me a 40-60% chance at, and got accepted to everywhere it gave me a 60% chance or higher at.</p>
<p>It probably works better for colleges whose application processes are more numerically driven.</p>
<p>They gave me like a 3% chance at one school and I was wait listed.</p>
<p>I only applied to one college, it predicted 86.8% chance (UMich), I got in (I just went and did it now)… So it was pretty good there… </p>
<p>For fun:
Harvard, 0.1%
Stanford, 8%
Yale, 3.2%
Berkley, 16.4%
UPenn, 10.2%
Brown, 1.2%
Princeton, 0.2%
Duke, 15.7%
Columbia, 12.8%
Dartmouth, 15.7%
MIT, 8%</p>
<p>Chance into getting into atleast one of those, almost 63%!!! </p>
<p>I guess that’s why people apply to an crazy number of schools.</p>
<p>For me:
Wash U: Predicted - 44.6% - Accepted
Penn: 3.6% - Rejected
Boston U: 96% - Accepted
Pitt main campus: 92.7% - Accepted
Cornell: 13.9% - Rejected
Michigan: 70.1% - Waitlisted
Rochester: 68.1% - Accepted
Carnegie Mellon: 60.3% - Rejected (hmm)
What’s strange is that Wash U’s chance % is about 4 times that of Northwestern for me, and according to this site, it’s also easier to get into than Boston College, Vanderbilt, Rice, etc… that’s not what I thought. Weird. Other than that, fairly accurate, I guess.</p>
<p>EDIT: Although Penn/Cornell are Ivies, I really can’t see how they are so low compared to Wash U. SAT scores of admitted students are similar (Wash U’s are quite high in fact), but the gap between these schools isn’t that great.</p>
<p>In my opinion the site does not work.</p>
<p>I type in my stats and for most of the UCs I got above 60% which is weird because all my stats are under the average stats for the actual accepted students.</p>
<p>Edit: It might work for Cal and UCLA because I tried it for those 2 schools and got 1.1%.</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>Edit once more: Lol the site definitely does not work. For UCM I got 66% while for UCI I got 87%</p>
<p>bumpp thanks so far, anyone else? :)</p>
<p>It gives me really good chances at all schools.</p>
<p>But like I played around with it and I don’t think it’s possible to get more than a 10% chance at Harvard.</p>
<p>i think that it creates SOME sort of an academic index for you, but it doesnt take into account ecs, essays, etc…i think it tries to encompass ecs with its little drop-down questions, but that’s very subjective and each category encompasses a pretty large range of people…i use the site to see if my gpa and sat scores improve my chances based on the actual school acceptance percengtage. for example, cornell has about 17-20% acceptance rate (not sure exactly) and the site said i had about a 76% chance…so for me that just means i have a 3/4 chance and that my cahnces are significantly greater than what cornell’s overall acceptance rate is…i dont believe that anything above 50 is a guarantee and vice versa…many other factors play in and any increase in the typical school acceptance rate can be viewed positively</p>
<p>I use the site, and I find it to be pretty accurate.</p>
<p>it would be most accurate at STATE U where numbers are like 70% of the decision
at places like the ivies, it would be less accurate</p>
<p>I hope the site isn’t true…very bad chances at some of my top choices
haha the harvard one didn’t suprised me at all 2.2%, but my chances at UMICH are 95.7% (and I’m OOS) so that made me happy :)</p>
<p>wow but a lot of you guys are saying this is accurate. How can a machine calculate when processes are supposed to be “holistic” ?</p>
<p>The funniest thing about that site is that when I used it to see what my chances were for my local state university the results were bogus.</p>
<p>I had a like a 76% to get in. The same as if I were applying to a UC.
Also another thing is that getting into my local state university is the easiest thing in the world. You get in with a 2.0 gpa and you can be taking algebra 1.</p>
<p>James, it likely didn’t have enough in the sample. Only the big colleges have enough people to be worth looking at.</p>
<p>I’m just saying that the site is flawed. :)</p>
<p>If it says that a state college and a UC = same chance, then there might be prob :P</p>
<p>gave me a 70% at brown and 95% at berkeley 
hopefully its accurate</p>
<p>Well if your state school has less then 30 people who have gotten in from the site, it’s not really expected to be accurate.</p>
<p>This site actually worked pretty well for me, surprisingly. It predicted 10 out of 11 correctly for me.</p>
<p>bump … anymore results that were/were not correct? :)</p>
