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.
Other bloggers have been discussing which schools place the most emphasis on GPA.
At Mychances.net, at least, it’s our experience that the schools at the “top” are the ones most likely to take into account more than GPA and scores. These are the ones most difficult to “chance” based on numbers alone. The ones in the middle of the pack tend to be pretty well predictable based on GPA, standardized tests, and little more than that.
