<p>Generally, the counselor-o-matic is wrong. It says reaches (such as Yale) are matches, and sometimes even says safeties are matches or reaches. Really, don't bother.</p>

<p>If you want something a little more realistic, try mychances.net. Not perfect by any means, but more sophisticated than the counselor-o-matic.</p>

<p>I agree with kyledavid. it's all unrealistic!</p>

<p>i dont think so. i have decent credentials and cornell, penn, wustl always came as reaches. and the rest were also pretty accurate IMO</p>

<p>The CounselorOMatic is highly variable in how accurate their safety/match/reach categories are. Use it as a way to find colleges to put on your list, then do your own research to find out how likely a candidate you are.</p>

<p>I would say it is neither precise nor accurate.</p>

<p>So true, ClC2. My D was given a response that included Yale as a good fit, but alas, it wasn't so according to My chances.
Thank you KyleDavid80 for the referral to a more realistic assessing tool. I had never heard of mychances.net before.</p>

<p>C-O-M tends to give any public state school regardless of prestige (TX, Mich, UVa) a safety rating for me.</p>
