<p>This has really started to become irritating, if not annoying to me. First, I don’t understand what you expect. No one here is an admissions expert, and everyone bases decisions off of the stats they see on websites, and the common knowledge selectivity of the college. So here’s my thinking, if you can’t do an approximate “chance” on yourself, then maybe schools, especially top-notch schools, are not for you(This sounds mean, but its not meant to be and I can’t figure out any other way to word it). For example, if you are applying to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, yada yada yada, then the chances are against you unless you are super-super-super stellar in acadmeics or some combo of academics/athletics/arts. And these kids know who they are, most of them receive likely letters, and they comprise probably 1 out of every 100,000 applicants. If you don’t fall under this catagory, the chances are mostly against you, but certainly some applicants have advantages over others. You should be able to figure this out for yourself, based on your SAT scores class rank etc. For the other colleges that are great but not top-notch, then you have a good chance if your stats are above the averages of the previous classes, but there’s always room for error. As the selectivity of a college goes down, the odds you get in if your stats are over the 75% of the previous admissions class, then your odds go up.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I just don’t see the point. You, your parents, and your guidance counselor should be able to come up with a good approximation by yourselves, and not have to rely on input from strangers. </p>
<p>BTW just some alternatives to having strangers chance you: </p>
<li>Ask a college admin(not sure if they can or will answer) or a college counselor</li>
<li>Go to m<em>y</em>c<em>h</em>a<em>n</em>c<em>e</em>s* .net (without the *), they give you a statistical %, which isn’t 100% accurate, but for most colleges their accuracy falls in-between 70 and 85%, which isn’t bad. </li>
</ol>
<p>One last thing, remember that 1,000 “no” approximations or guesses is worth nothing if you get an acceptance letter. You can get a decent chance, but the only thing that matters is the outcome, which is influenced, but not dictated by odds.</p>
