What's Your AI?

<p>Surely everyone has checked it. What's yours? You can do this in several ways.</p>

<p>1) Use the best scores from the old SAT (if you took it) and three SAT IIs.
2) Use the best scores for CR and M from any SAT, new or old, and your top three SAT IIs, leaving off writing.
3) Use the best scores for CR and M from any SAT, new or old, and your top SAT IIs including the writing score as an SAT II.</p>

<p>What's good? Mine is 4620.</p>

<p>Good is 7 and up. I take it that's all of them together for you. Haven't you seen the AI ("Academic Index") on the first page of the collegeconfidential.com website? You put in the SAT scores above in combinations, together with your rank, and get the rating that some Ivies use. It's pretty informative.</p>

<p>^Is that possible?
That's averaging over 900 per SAT/SAT II section; the max should be 4000.</p>

<p>Mine's 3570. Argh, everyone else's here is probably like a loooooot higher.</p>

<p>Has anyone looked at the AI Calculator they provide??? It's in a link under the wheel of links on collegeconfidential's main page.</p>

<p>mine is 3510 :( is that a 6?</p>

<p>Sorry, I messed up mine, I counted it as the new SAT, so the total is 3820 = 9. But honestly, does that even mean anything? Most colleges at this level are looking for passion as well as test scores.</p>

<p>We've had this discussion before. The AI, I believe, is used for athletic recruits, not regular students (though I'm sure there is a correlation between AI and acceptance, simply because the two analyze similar things).</p>

<p>Also, Dartmouth only asks for two SATIIs, yet the calculator asks for three. It's not terribly accurate either -- I'm a 6 if I use my estimated ranking (top 10%) but an 8 if I use my GPA.</p>

<p>3770</p>

<p>what number is that?</p>

<p>3970/4000 - i think a 9</p>

<p>Yeah, with the new SAT and everything, it has basically become obsolete.</p>

<p>3740......</p>

<p>3760.</p>

<p>i cant add.</p>

<p>haha.</p>

<p>as i have said before though, the AI calc that CC provides does not take into account the competativeness of the school.</p>

<p>hell, my AI changes from a 8 to a 6 if i go from 2nd to 10th...and since my grade doesnt rank, i have no idea what it is.</p>

<p>3780...
Your Academic Index: 217
AI Rank*: 6 out of 9</p>

<p>If I use my exact rank, plus the writing as a third SATII, my AI =221 Ranked a 7</p>

<p>If I use the percentile rankings because my school doesn't rank, my AI becomes a 216 and I become a 6.</p>

<p>According to Hernandez, 7's get in 76% of the time, and 6's get in about 52%. </p>

<p>Schools that do not rank hurt top students. Also, my GC doesn't seem to know about any of this. Any opinions?</p>

<p>do colleges use this in the admissions process?</p>

<p>if so ..argh. my school does not rank.</p>

<p>yea i was surprised to find I went from a 7 to 5 when I changed from gpa to decile. I don't think they take AI too seriously because it wouldn't be fair. I think they use it mainly for athletes? That could be wrong. Everything is too circumstantial for them to take it too seriously</p>

<p>if i use my weighted gpa, then i'm an 8
but if i use my class rank, that number is halved.
okay... i hope dartmouth doesnt use this</p>

<p>3820</p>

<p>My class rank is top 5% (Bad fresh grades, else I'd be like 4 or 5), with that I'm like a 6, but then when I put in 4.3 I'm a 9</p>

<p>I think the system is screwey</p>
