How to use the Admission Chances Calculator
Search for any US college, enter your GPA and SAT score, and get an instant estimate of your admission chances. The calculator compares your profile to real admitted student data and gives you a Safety, Match, Reach, or Unlikely rating.
Safety, Match & Reach
Safety: Stats well above average — 80%+ chance. Match: Stats align with average — 40–70%. Reach: Stats below average — under 30%.
What else matters?
GPA and test scores are part of the picture. Essays, extracurriculars, recommendations, and demonstrated interest all influence decisions at selective schools.
Build a balanced list
Apply to 2–3 safety schools, 3–4 match schools, and 2–3 reach schools. Most students get into at least one match school.
