Independent tools for the most confusing six months of a family's year.

Where every number comes from

School figures — acceptance rates, GPA bands, SAT/ACT middle-50% ranges, deadlines, tuition — are approximate, most-recent publicly reported values, drawn from each school's Common Data Set filing and official admissions publications (generally the fall 2024 entering class, or newer where a school reports it). Rates move every year, and some schools publish no official overall rate at all (we say so on those pages). Before acting on any figure, confirm it on the school's own site — every page links there.

The odds calculator is a transparent heuristic, not a prediction: it starts from published rates and shifts them for where your GPA and optional scores sit relative to published middle-50% bands, plus published residency splits at public universities. Every factor is printed on the calculator page. It cannot see essays, course rigor, recommendations, or personal context — the things that actually decide close calls — which is exactly why it shows bands instead of percentages.

What we don't do

• No accounts, no lead capture. Every tool runs on your device. Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere — not even to us.
• No data selling. There is no database of users to sell, because there are no users — only visitors.
• No counseling services. We don't sell admissions advice, essay reviews, or "chance me" consultations, and we don't take commissions from any college or service. Ads are the only revenue.
• No false precision. Estimates are labeled as estimates everywhere they appear, including dates ("expected") and rates ("projection", "approximately").

Corrections

We fix errors fast and note them. If a figure on a school page disagrees with the school's current Common Data Set, the Common Data Set is right — and we want to know. Corrections re-render the page with the corrected figure the same week.
