Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I've been working on a tool to help me make big life decisions, like which b school to choose. The genesis is that I'm a lawyer and have been thinking through possibilities for my career. Rather than a regular pro/con list, I thought a weighted averaging system would be helpful. Here's the website, which has been useful for me in figuring out what factors really matter:https://decidealgo.com/
And here's an example for picking a business school: https://decidealgo.com/?page=dec&algo_id=334&view=d9678bc27066
The site is a totally free labor of love—hope it's useful to someone out there.

A bunch have people have used this--hope it's helped! For anyone who has a moment to give feedback by replying here, I'd be really grateful because I can change it to make it more useful.
A couple specific questions:
1) Would it be helpful to have a template that includes things like cost, academic reputation, climate, etc.--things everyone cares about to some extent? Hopefully the example I created fills a similar function https://decidealgo.com/?page=dec&algo_id=334&view=d9678bc27066
2) Did you understand that some factors are inverted? That is, for cost to be a 10/10 would mean the school is free or cheap since 10/10 is perfect in the algorithm (analogously, 10/10 academic reputation is obviously a perfect score, but this is not an inverted factor). Many people are confused about this and give more expensive schools a higher rating (thinking higher price means higher number in the algorithm) on the cost ten-point scale.
Thanks all!
