Now when you visit a school’s page, you’ll be able to click through to “Personalized Analysis”, which shows where you fall vs all admitted students (ever) and current applicants (for the next admissions cycle). Currently it is limited to GPA and SAT scores, but we plan to expand this to automatically show all of the categories that apply to you; i.e., if you listed an AP English Language score, we’ll graph that out for you.

I would love to see AP and SAT II scores listed in the personal analysis! Any chance of implementing this feature before this year’s ED/EA admissions cycle?
Yes! There are two ways to approach this: aggregate (i.e., lump together all APs) and individual (i.e., show all of them separately). Aggregate is good because it gives a larger sample size, making the number more meaningful. Individual is good because it lets you see very specific comparisons, but is bad because it makes use of smaller numbers (perhaps only 3 people at school X have taken AP French). Maybe we’ll just do both…
