<p>Just tried it out using Princeton and Stanford. The calculated chances for both schools look way high to me.</p>
<p>I apparently have a great shot at duke and williams… which is complete BS in real life</p>
<p>thing is kind of fail.</p>
<p>Haha, it gives me hope but more like false hope! I do not have a 45% chance at Harvard, more like .0002%. Apparently I’m 100% in at Hofstra, which I’ve never even heard of before. I think I might apply just to see if I will get in, lol.</p>
<p>I will look into it now.</p>
<p>lol this is a joke</p>
<p>If you pick the lowest available sat/gpa</p>
<p>but pick the best for everything else</p>
<p>harvard is a 10%</p>
<p>Subtract two points from your answer if you haven’t allowed at least three adults to edit it. </p>
<p>^ Lol @ essay criteria.</p>
<p>Lol. Every admissions officer I have ever has given me the exact opposite advice; they say to keep all adults as far away from your essays as possible.</p>
<p>Well it is very debating, but gives students at least some thought of hope… percentage of my chances of acceptated into all the universities were higher than I thought… really surprise to see Duke was near 50%.</p>
<p>Apparently the worst application in the world gives a 17% chance for NYU.</p>
<p>I call BS on this calculator.</p>
<p>It probably isn’t accurate but at least you feel a little bit better about yourself.</p>
<p>I apparently have > 50% at HYP AND S</p>
<p>Lulz</p>
<p>Funny stuff. I’m pretty sure if I sent an application to HYP it would spontaneously burst into flames. The website told be I’ve got a 50/50 shot though!!1</p>
<p>what a joke…</p>
<p>You know, you can click Amherst -> SHIFT -> click Yale in order to select all the schools.</p>
<p>Selecting all of the worst options gets 34% in Hofstra. This is a joke.</p>

<hr>
<p>Why do you suppose that is? Could it be because that’s what they’re told to say? Do you think admissions officers would go out and say, “get help?”</p>
<p>It may be important to keep the wrong adults form your essay but there’s no substitute for good proofreading. A good written product is the results of many drafts and input form other sources.</p>
<hr>
<p>By the way, the calculator is way off but all of you know that already.</p>
<p>This was fun :)</p>
<p>LOL yesterday I only had like a 5% chance for Harvard and similar for other top schools, so I thought this was brutal, but close to accurate. Today, though, I realized that when I put 1500-1560 for my SAT score, that it was out of 2400, not 1600 as the little blurb above it led me to believe…</p>
