How reliable is MyChances.net?

<p>Sometimes the predictions are wildly off...eg. the computer predicted a chance of 0.5% for a kid into Harvard and he still got in. And then there's the question of whether everyone is BSing their stats or not...</p>

<p>I think it is very inaccurate considering that getting into college is more than just stats. It is also your essays, your recs, how challenging your school was, etc.</p>

<p>that site is a joke</p>

<p>Higher the numbers, the higher the acceptance rate... that's all that the site can tell you... You can make your own positive correlation linear model... </p>

<p>and yes... people can BS their stats.</p>

<p>no site like this can give you anything useful.</p>

<p>If anyone is still checking this out, it said I have a .4% chance at Villanova and 0% chance at UVA, but I'm in at Cornell, Colgate, BC, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>
