This makes no sense.....

<p>Ok, I searched the internet for a calculator that would tell me my chances for getting into certain colleges. My percentages were WAY higher than I expected, and therefore I doubt the calculator's reliability.</p>

<p>For example, it says my chance of getting in to Harvard is 41%. I only have a 2210 SAT and I am not a minority (and no other "hook" for that matter), so I KNOW that my chance of getting in to Harvard could not possibly be more than 10-15%. </p>

<p>Could someone put in their numbers and tell me if their predictions seem inaccurate to you?</p>

<p>I get 3%.</p>

<p>Ah, I see why. The SAT part was misleading: I was entering my SAT converted to old rather than the new. Now I have about the same.</p>

<p>No calculators can do these sorts of things. College admissions don't work like that.</p>

<p>Set everything to the highest possible level and you get 60% for Harvard. So iwannagoivy has a 40% chance of getting rejected from Harvard? I doubt it.</p>

<p>lol, I put in the old SAT score the first time too... I was like, 5%?! Aww.... </p>

<p>Now that I think about it, that's probably an indication that this calculator is crap. Who honestly has even a 3% of getting into Harvard with only a 1490 out of 2400. Yeah, more like, .000000003% chance....</p>

<p>Yeah, this thing really doesn't make sense. I got 2% chance for Harvard, which I suppose makes sense. But my chances for admission to Williams is a 48% O<em>O and Duke is 42% O</em>o. So there's definately something wrong here..</p>

<p>I got 11% for Harvard.</p>

<p>I got 42%...that's impossible... I should never get into Havard even if I have more extra cirric than the YMCA and am black...that site is trippin. Then again, I would also never apply there.</p>

<p>I got 41% for Harvard, I dont even think I can make Wharton and.....</p>

<p>lol i really wish these were my chances.....
this calculator CANNOT tell you your accurate chances at those colleges.....but maybe it's good for raising your hopes up =) (got 41% for Harvard...lol)</p>

<p>16% at harvard and a 80% at UMD 64% a UMICH and 47% at duke...way higher than i expected for duke.</p>

<p>Why is university of maryland on the ranks of all these IVY league schools on the list. Even though i live in Maryland and see that it is becoming more and more competitive.</p>

<p>Yeah, this is bogus. It adds 5% for URMs, but the admissions stats of URMs suggest that the advantage would be much greater.</p>

<p>I got 56% for dartmouth with a 3.6, 2280, and high everything else...I call BS.</p>

<p>Then I switched GPA to 4.0, and got a 58%...completely wrong.</p>

<p>white girl, 3.2, 1970 sat... this is a joke</p>

<p>HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I got a 49% for Duke. That's hilarious. BTW 3.7 GPA, 29 ACT (1300 SAT - 1950 SAT). I put mediocre stuff for the essays, recs, and other stuff too. For some reason, I don't think I have a 49% chance of admission, lol. Oh, and Williams was 54%, Michigan was 55% (I got waitlisted at UM in real life).</p>

<p>I'm not complaining! :p However, this is retarded. You don't have a % chance of getting in. It isn't like the lottery. Either you get in or you don't.</p>

<p>I got about 20+ % in Harvard, yale, and Princeton.</p>
