[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the Common Data Set provides the overall numbers for a school, but what calculator to people think is most accurate when you enter a kids’ profile? My kid likely has a better than 5% chance of getting into Vanderbilt being at the 75th percentile for SAT and grades/rigor/ECs, but I don’t know if that number is more like 10% or 20%. The reason for asking is to be more thoughtful about the number of reaches for my kid to apply to.

Some people in previous threads have mentioned CollegeVine. Are there others that are good?

The last time I had a free but password-protected Niche.com account, I had access to admissions scattergrams broken down by intended major.

Niche got the data by offered participation in a drawing to people who asked-reported their majors, schools and scores.

People here laugh at Niche, but my child’s school had no useful Naviance data.

I thought the Niche scattergrams were really useful for showing, for example, why it was insane for students who love reading and writing and had humanities activities to tell schools that they wanted to be premeds or CS or business majors. (At many selective schools below the HYPS level, getting in as a would-be history major was just so much easier.)[/quote]
