Is anyone as paranoid as me?

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok, so all I think about these days is what college I'm going to get into. I've been trying to get realistic though to try and ease my nerves. I am trying to gauge my chances at the schools I applied to. </p>

<p>I found this:
College</a> Admission Chances | My Chances.net - Data-driven college admission prediction. </p>

<p>Could some of you check it out, because I think maybe this isn't accurate. (they told me I might get rejected from a safety and that I had a 77% chance of getting into a reach)</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Lots of luck to all of you!</p>

<p>Yeah I saw that thing a while back. All it does is take into account GPA and test scores, and it's pretty inaccurate.</p>

<p>Although it did tell me I'd get in almost anywhere :(</p>

<p>To be grammatically correct, it should be "...as paranoid as I am?"</p>

<p>Just figured I'd be an ass and throw that out there.</p>

<p>I've used that site, and got some of my friends into it, and it gives a general idea but has been wrong in several cases. It said I had over a 70% chance of getting into Colgate (waitlisted) and a 47% chance of getting into Union (I got in with a 9k/year merit scholarship with no application for financial aid). I wouldn't swear by it but it can give you a general idea by your objective stats, but doesn't involve subjective facets.</p>

Columbia...1.4% (boo!)
Cornell...48.6%
Duke...15.1%
Harvard...5.8%
MIT...10.6% (they were trying to woo me from junior year on)
Northwestern...19.5% (waitlisted)
Princeton...14.4%
Rice...46.1%
Stanford...9.6%
Texas...58.6% (Accepted)
UofChicago...23.7%

<p>Seems alright.</p>

<p>Well, the site shows me that I'll get into Harvard, Yale and Emory 100%
But I would say that with my current SAT I wouldn't get into...almost anywhere (I'm international, definitely trying to improve). So, I wouldn't trust the site ;p</p>
