Chance DS for CS! [IL resident, 3.9 UW, 1540 SAT]

Collegevine is notoriously overly optimistic.

If the OP’s school uses Naviance that is a better source of info. If not, look at the common data sets for each school on the list.

For schools with an under 25% acceptance rate, we considered those all reaches no matter where my D fell in the stats. Similarly, we were very conservative with what we considered a safety - over 75/80% acceptance rate AND where her stats were over the 75th percentile.

Too many aren’t realistic with their safeties and targets, especially for competitive majors. Collegevine doesn’t help that situation ; )
