<p>It's some kind of secret formula for admission chances at 100 top schools, and I've just tested it. thickenvelope.com</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this service and how accurate it was in your case. Especially since I doubt I really have above 70% shots at every single one of my dream schools. Yeah...</p>
<p>I think I've gotten my hopes up for good now!</p>
<p>thats a nice way for them to make 90 bucks...</p>
<p>i'll tell you you have a 90% shot at your dream schools if you pay me a hundred bucks!</p>
<p>...tool</p>
<p>Hey, it was only 30 :D
But I'm curious why MIT and Caltech were only low 70s for me...I thought they were all about stats?</p>
<p>Caltech may be "all about stats," but there has to be something else when your entire applicant pool has a 1550+ SATI and 800s on IIC and Physics SATII. MIT on the other hand is definitely not all stats</p>
<p>are you a girl? if so MIT has massive affirmative action for you (and so do alot of other engineering schools)</p>

<p>CalTech has male-female ratio of 10:1.</p>
<p>That would be a fun way to spend your college years guys.</p>
<p>I see that as the main pitfall of going to Caltech. Are there any other colleges near/in Pasadena?</p>
<p>Actually, it's about a 2:1 ratio. Although 10:1 would be a bit more fun.</p>
<p>Anyways, I didn't take the physics SAT II. Gasp...</p>
<p>Did you just take a free test, or did you pay money so someone could make up your chances at some schools? Cause everyone here will do that for free.</p>
<p>?????????????</p>
<p>It's some kind of simple algorithm that this harvard admissions guy supposedly developed. Compares your stats with accepted people at different schools and...yeah. You just fill out this short application.
Instead of telling you if it's a safety or a match, for example a safety school's percentage would be 90% or above, so I thought it was more quantified.</p>
<p>Wouldn't they need to have the info for all the people that applied, not just those accepted? To really give a percentage they would have to look at how many people got accepted out of those that applied with the same stats.</p>
<p>It's just a gimmick to get your money.</p>
