<p>Check out this website for calculating admission chances:

<p>According to the website, the example student has a much greater chance of being accepted into Harvard than all the other ivies because “her background, achievements, and extracurricular activities more closely match the admissions criteria that Harvard values.”</p>

<p>So, how do schools like Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Amherst, Middlebury, Williams, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, & Stanford differ in admissions criteria? Dartmouth is my ED school.</p>

<p>OCDgirl, can you give us the link again, but this time throw in a couple of spaces so the CC board doesn’t reject it.</p>

<p>Some public universities post right on their websites the specific criteria for admissions. For other institutions it is a closely held secret, and the exact balance changes from year to year. If the college placement folks at your high school keep close track of things, they can give you a pretty good estimate of which places will admit you and which won’t. When you use the college search engines, you can find out if your exam scores and GPA are in range for a given institution, but after that you just have to take your chances.</p>
