<p>Is this acurate? I think it is messed up.</p>
<p>I think it is messed up too. It gave me a better chance at getting admitted to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill than Campbell University. That can't be possible.</p>
<p>The counselor-o-matic doesn't give you chances, it gives you matches according to the criteria you supply (school size, median GPA/SAT, location, etc). Campbell's average GPA/SAT probably didn't match what you put in, so it was less of a match - personality-wise, not match as it means on CC and to a guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Yeah. I am an idiot. I got that mixed up with some other tool that gave me messed up results. I don't remember the name of it. Anyways, just ignore my post because I really don't know the accuracy of it since I was thinking of an entirely different thing.</p>
<p>I think it's a little screwy. Here are the schools it gave me with a 1270 SAT and 3.8 GPA.</p>
<p>Safety:</p>
<p>Northeastern
American
UWash (OOS)
Villanova</p>
<p>Good Match:</p>
<p>Duke
Amherst
Dartmouth
Rice</p>
<p>Reach:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale</p>
<p>It's not very accurate.</p>
<p>Actually...princeton review does both chances and school fit...</p>
<p>It divides it into reach, match, or safety (chances)</p>
<p>It gives the school a percent fit.</p>
<p>And yes, it is slightly messed up, because it's based on very unexpanded things...like EC involvement etc. But it is still probably fairly accurate</p>
<p>it told me schools that are matched for me that people on this site said I have no chance..</p>
<p>It's sort of accurate, but only really in a perfect world. Every school I looked at on PR, besides the Ivies, MIT, & CalTech, they said it was a good match for me. So basically, don't base your chances on a certain school on just PR. It's more useful if you look up stats on schools.</p>
<p>It listed Villanova as a safety for me as well, which doesn't make much sense as I'm only a little bit out of the middle 50%...not much of a safety really.</p>
<p>You have to remember that some of the colleges appear automatically because they're sponsors of the Princeton Review. Anyway, it put Amherst as a match for me, which is one of my top choices, but I only have a 2040 SAT. All my other stats are good, though. I hope I have a real chance.</p>
