Naviance is about as close as you will get to an accurate predictor. It only uses three metrics ; your school, your GPA, and your ACT/SAT. Also realize that Naviance’s results may be inaccurate because some students take both the SAT and ACT and perform much better on one or the other, and you will get weird results like students getting into Michigan with 3.7 GPA and 22 ACTs. (probably had a 2300 SAT) . You can watch the pattern on the scattergram to see of the university admissions are mostly data driven or holistic - just look for the level of clustering in the patterns.
