Agreed. But how much of a variance in stats do you think there might be between an engineering and L&S at UCLA? I have no clue, but I’d guess that you must have high stats for both, though higher in the case of engineering. And then how do EC’s, SAT II’s and essays enter into the equation. My point is that there is no perfect prediction tool, especially when you have human beings as the AO’s. But Naviance will tell you if you’re scores and GPA are reasonable for a particular school.
Last year, a Compass Test Prep exec came to my daughter’s school and told us that 70% of the perfect test score/stat kids are denied admission at Stanford. So, even the best most-detailed scattergram won’t give yield 100% accurate results.
