<p>So I kinda wanted to know how accurate this thing is...
maybe you guys could plug in your stats and shout out your opinion.</p>
<p>What</a> are my chances?</p>
<p>You have to realize that without subjective inputs that this can’t be accurate. What if I’m a recruited athlete or legacy? It only takes into account rank and SAT scores, ergo it can’t be very accurate because other factors do not come into play.</p>
<p>well of course I understand that, but I mean it should be in the right ballpark, right???</p>
<p>To be honest, not very.</p>
<p>I have no confidence in that site.</p>
<p>okay so does it overrate you or underrate you??</p>
<p>Probably both. Sometimes, students with lower scores can have stronger extracurriculars/personal characteristics/essays/recommendations that it does not take into account, and vice versa for students with stronger scores and weaker (etc). The site only takes into account a very small portion of your overall application. It also does not take into account the difficulty of the school when calculating class ranking.</p>
<p>The vast majority of equation-rating websites will give you quite the overestimate. This is why there’s CC: it’s direct from human beings rather than a server that is made to input values and output values.</p>
<p>Most of these guessing websites are more interested in gathering your personal information and selling it then they are in providing an accurate estimate of your chances of attending a particular school</p>
