Princeton Review vs. Parchment

<p>I’m finding myself disagreeing with the Princeton Review on admissions chances. They brought me down from match to reach at one of my schools on a factor they acknowledge the school doesn’t even consider. So, is Parchment really more accurate, or is the Princeton Review right?</p>

<p>Parchment was too optimistic for me, I think they don’t have enough users to make the data meaningful. Plus they lump data from all years together, and things change A LOT from year to year. Did you look at Cappex? They claim to use results from just one year in their scattergrams. The scatter graphs are the best way to know right away what your chances are.</p>

<p>^personally, I think cappex is too optimistic sometimes. For chances, it said “I’m in the middle” for Princeton. My stats clearly indicate otherwise lol.</p>

<p>I think Princeton is too rough, though. They put me at a reach for University of Washington despite my scores being above average.</p>
