Silverturtle's self chancing excel tool?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What about international students?? LOL? I change my SAT from 2400 to 600, GPA, rank, there is no change at all in the chance of acceptance.</p>

22

<p>It’s not working for me. Anyone care to explain how to use it in a way we, the technologically challenged, can understand?</p>

23

<p>^agreeee. please and ty!</p>

<p>There’s a left-hand column. Put your stats in there for the questions they ask. Someone has already filled it out, so you replace their answers with yours. So, for state, replace CT with whatever state you’re from. The questions that say they’re self populating means that the computer is taking other information you’ve put in and coming up with a number (you don’t have to type anything into these). According to the information you put into the left-hand columns, the programs spits out point values in the right-hand column. These add up, and result in a percentile chance of being accepted.</p>

<p>i downloaded it and when i open it all i get are codes?</p>

26

<p>@Nonsensical - Thanks for the help, but I get only codes. If I would have got the form, I would have edited it.</p>

27

<p>For the people who are having problems with the file: When you download it, save it as .xlsx file, so add .xlsx at the end of the filename when you download it. It should open up in excel after you do that.</p>

28

<p>this sounds like fun can someone pm me with it?</p>

<p>This is so aggravating! If I change my race (Asian) to Native American, my chance of admission goes from 55% to >95%! I know this is just a tool and is by no means a real acceptance into an Ivy League, but that’s honestly frustrating.</p>

<p>Guys this is a fun, but inaccurate tool. For example, if you put 5 ECs down for each (20 different ECs in total) it would help your score. In reality, advisors see 20 ECs as superfluous and insincere. So don’t put too much weight on what this tells you.</p>

31

<p>:sigh:
If only I really had a 65% chance… I’m guessing I really have 15% or so (applied SCEA).</p>

32

<p>i got 80%, but i think this tool does not accurately assess level of accomplishments (with a Y or N answer)</p>

<p>i am a 5-time USAMO qualifier, attended the Math Olympiad Summer Program, was part of the US Physics Team, was High Honors in the US Chemistry Olympiad, and am part of the USA Computing Olympiad Gold Division</p>

<p>i feel like a Y or N doesnt fully capture that</p>
