and feed it to Chatgpt for prediction?
If so, report it here, let's see how good the AI prediction is when the results are out. Mine: predicted 30% chance of acceptance for ED reach. Nonetheless, AI insisted that this is the best fit for DC. |

Make sure your settings are on private.
Then feed in the actual rubrics that schools used by looking at the reviews on Reddit from kids who have looked at their applications from your schools early choice. You have to have the scoring right to know what they are looking for. Make sure your settings are on private. Feed as much data you can into it, including from your own high school & past years admissions and matriculation. |

I don't understand how anyone in this area would mindlessly use AI this way knowing what it's doing to our resources and bills.
AI has a place, but can we not use it for stupid stuff? |

Seriously. With the hallucinations and outdated info, AI is just an expensive form of the Magic 8 Ball. |
