How reliable is Counselor-O-Matic

<p>How reliable is the automated system that Princeton Review uses to determine your chances at various schools?</p>

<p>it was okay, then it went insane, and I'm not sure if it's better yet ;)</p>

<p>"thedonkey"? thats the funniest username I've ever seen.</p>

<p>harpgirl - in what way was it insane?</p>

<p>The function seems to be too optimistic now (e.g. sometimes identifying your reach schools as good matches)</p>

<p>My results turned out a bit pessimistic though...... I guess it was because the SAT II's weren't checked in.</p>

<p>Though it did turn out USC as a good match for me (though I probably have no shot at it)</p>

<p>well at first it was pretty good, then it was listing things like Harvard as safties and community colleges as reaches/good matches. I'm glad to hear that it,s getting a bit back to normal...my results were way pessimistic. All the schools I got into were classified as reaches.</p>
