<p>As a rough measure, look at their average SAT score. If they give a range for 25 to 50th percentile, take the number in the middle. Then look at the total percent of applications that they accept. If you have average SATS, you probably have that percent chance. If your SATS are higher, you have a higher chance. This does not, of course, take GPA, difficulty of course load, and ECs into consideration. It’s just a rough estimate.</p>
