Hi. I’m currently a junior at a medium sized high school in rural Maryland. I was recently introduced by my guidance counselor to parchment.com, a website that essentially chances you for colleges you are interested in. After putting in my test scores (1990, SAT 710M, 620CR, 660W, 5 on AP US Gov), my extracurriculars, (4 clubs, president of one club, swimming, XC, Eagle Scout, etc), GPA (4.00 UW, 4.31 W) and with class rank (top 3%), I was given chances to colleges I was interested in. I was given above average chances at schools such as Duke (21%), Notre Dame (40%), Emory (55%), and UMD (95%) among others. I was wondering if anyone has ever used this site to gauge their chances at acceptance at selective universities? All feedback is welcome and appreciated! Thanks!
