[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CollegeVine has been accurate this year for my DD. [/quote]

Has your kid gotten into any schools where it indicates they have a 20 to 30% chance of getting in?[/quote]

I’d like to know this too [/quote]
Agree.  [b]What does it mean to say that CollegeVine was accurate[/b]?  If chances were 60% and the applicant was admitted, does that mean it was correct?  What if chances were 50% and the applicant was not admitted?  Was CollegeVine wrong in that case?[/quote]
NP. I think CV was accurate for my kid too from HS class '23.

"Accurate" meaning:
Reaches: two rejections
Hard Target: two WL and an acceptance 
Target and Safety: seven acceptances

For those who have used CollegeVine, and whose students attend schools that do not weight GPA, did you weight the GPA yourself based on your student's rigor before entering it?[/quote]

Collegevine doesn't use weighted GPAs, so there is no need to weigh yourself. Also, it asks for rigor info, ie., the number of honors, advanced, AP/IB classes taken vs what your child's school offers.[/quote]

Has not been accurate for most private school kids we know.

In what way? Does it suggest schools are targets/safeties and then the students are not  admitted? Or does it suggest schools are reaches and students are admitted to all those schools?
