How accurate is Parchment?

65% chance means if 20 applicants just like you applied, most of them would get in. The fact you were accepted doesn’t prove Parchment is inaccurate.

Not that I’m saying the site is accurate. It isn’t. In my experience, it overestimates a student’s odds by far.

OP: You seem to have a very strong application, but due to a few factors - including an unweighted GPA below 3.6 - 41% seems high. I’d put your odds at 20% or thereabouts, and I consider going higher than that at a school with an acceptance rate of 13% irresponsible when chancing almost any applicant outside the ED1 pool.
