<p>Has anyone gone through the college match up test on <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com%5B/url%5D">www.princetonreview.com</a> (you need to register with them first). Is it accurate?</p>
<p>I thought it was pretty accurate; a lot of the colleges I was already considering were on the list.</p>
<p>No. It is not accurate. It's a waste of time. I find the stereotypes of the schools ("What Students Say?") fairly accurate about the campus feel, though.</p>
<p>I wouldnt say that the test is completely useless because, while it isn't accurate as fair as rating it a safety, match or reach, it does generally show you schools that you will like and be interested in, except when it put one of the sponsored univerities at a 100% to all of your criteria.</p>
<p>I preferred the college chances calculator at collegedata.com. It's less comprehensive than PR's, though.</p>
<p>Comparing my results to my college list:
Duke- reach and ok fit (attending and love it)
Johns Hopkins- reach and ok fit (accepted with partial scholarship)
U Chicago- match and ok fit (accepted with partial scholarship)
Davidson- match and good fit (accepted)
Wake Forest- match and ok fit (accepted with mega scholarship)
UNC Chapel Hill- match and ok fit (accepted with half scholarship)</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd say it's a bit off. Especially since the only good fit I had was Davidson, which was the school on my list I liked least...</p>

<p>Would you please share your GPA/score/etc? To what do you mostly attribute your great acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Also, were you a NC resident?</p>
