I had thought this too—college vine gave my child a 33% chance at Harvard. High stats. Seemed unlikely it was that high. While he didn’t get into Harvard he did better than predicted across all schools. (I took the predicted percentage for each school and calculated using a LLM how many events would be expected to occur if those chances were correct. Dc got into several more schools than that, including several ivies).

Holy vagueness. If you're going to put out a list, at least put uw GPA, private/public, APs taken (or private school similar), AP exam scores and SAT

huh?

this post seems more about how accurate collegevine's prediction algorithim was, not any one kid's individual stats. even the schools are anonymized. you can run collegevine formula yourself on your own kid an input quantitative and qualitative stats yourself. this is more about how was their prediction formula's accuracy across dcum parents.

Agree -- I think this is really helpful to get a sense of how accurate CV is with their stats.

Why would you do that? The point isn't to see if DCUM people are good at guessing chances, but to see if collegevine (which has all that info) is good at guessing chances.
