how accurate are CC's "chances"

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>anyone who has been accepted into college and who has had a chances thread on CC post their actual results?
This should be itneresting!</p>

<p>Sorry, i meant interesting</p>

3

<p>CC chances are pretty much pure gossip.</p>

4

<p>theres not a formula that cc uses- its mostly high school students guessing</p>

5

<p>lol yeah basically, but still fun :p</p>

6

<p>in other words, they're not accurate. However some "veteran" pridictions are a accurate i guess</p>

7

<p>i think they are just going to reaffirm what u already know. If you have a unweighted GPA of 4.0 you're going to have a better chance at Harvard than someone with a 2.3.</p>

<p>I'd say it really depends on who replies. Someone who's actually going to the college? Much more accurate than random person A.</p>

<p>Having said that if anyone wants to know, I was accepted to UVA, NYU, USC (Southern California), and U Rochester. I don't see how my stats would help you guys, more like make you go ..***? How'd she get in?! But I'll post them if you want..</p>

9

<p>ok... do it</p>

10

<p>I'd actually posted all my stats before deciding that wasn't the smartest thing to do. Sorry =P. Too much private information online is never good.</p>

11

<p>Taiwanese trick. Us mainlanders will never lie. Lol I'm kidding.</p>

12

<p>LOL. =P You know seriously speaking, it's the other way here. We always get horror stories about China. O_O</p>

<p>Well, I suppose my numbers wouldn't hurt much.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 uw
SAT (highest): 760 CR, 720 Math, 760 Writing
SATII: 800 Chinese w/ Listening, 760 Math IIC, 740 Biology Molecular.</p>

<p>Hope this helps people?</p>

13

<p>I remember a month or two back I did a fake chances thread to see if these cc'ers were able to actually guess where I would get accepted, they def weren't pinpont accurate, but overall not too bad.</p>

14

<p>tonyt88, can you find that thread and post the real results?</p>

<p>URM. Decent ECs. Low SATs. Average GPA.</p>

16

<p>At least I'm damn proud of being average, unlike you hikaru2005, who is such a little bastard you title your "average" stats, only to stick in people's faces your overblown scores. 8P</p>
