it is actually very simple and most high school students already know how to do this. by using the common data set as the guideline it was made for, a student can compare admission results with classmates or on online forums and determine the more influential item(s) of their admission through process of elimination.

here is an example. I have a friend who was admitted into very good universities even though they did not meet the required GPA and test score requirements (in fact, classmates with higher gpa and test scores were rejected by some of these universities). their essay on the other hand was spectacular, very unique and specific. they knew exactly what they wanted to study, Sustainable Environmental Design and used the essay to present their passion, self-preparation and career goals. it was clear that their essay obviously played a bigger influence compared to other application items.
