[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seemed pretty accurate this year, but when something is an under 20% or 10% it is easy to be right.[/quote]

Thank you. Yes, obviously if it says my child has a 9% chance of admission to Brown (which it does), then rejection is the expected outcome.

It is currently saying 77% chance at Emerson, 58% chance at Oberlin, and 36% chance at Vassar (as examples). 93% chance at Muhlenberg.  I used unweighted GPA, which I assume is correct? I'm making some assumptions as DD is a sophomore. She took the PSATs, and I know her historic standardized test scores, so I extrapolated. I assumed staying the course of ECs, though they could be a bit stronger or weaker by senior year. I know how many IB classes she plans to take.

I want to give DD a list of schools to consider for college visits next year. Is it reasonable to mention Vassar? I think she'd freaking love it, but I don't want to set her up for a high reach/out of reach school - and we won't have time for unlimited college visits.[/quote]
