<p>Back in the 70s, when I was applying to college, at least one of the college guides had charts showing what percentage of kids with various stats were accepted at each college. To illustrate, this meant that one could look at College A, and see that 100% of kids with verbal SATs over 700 were accepted, 50% of kids with verbal scores of 500-600 were accepted, etc. Stats of those accepted, not those who ultimately chose to attend, is a key difference from the information I've seen lately. This kind of thing would make it somewhat easier to estimate one's chances of getting in. Does anyone know of such a source now?</p>
<p>You can find these type of stats at individual colleges' websites (Brown and Wellesley publish such info on their websites for sure, as an example), but as far as I know, there is no one source that contains this info for every or most college, unfortunately. It really is very helpful in predicting your chances, or at least seeing more accurately what you are going up against, and there are a decent amount of schools that publish this info individually, but (in my experience) this was the exception rather than the norm.</p>
<p>maybe collegedata . com ?</p>
