Wow very good tool! I have a couple of questions:
1. Does an "Under Represented" has more odds to be selected (Ceteris Paribus)? I thought so, but when doing a sensitivity analysis I found that when switching from "Average Representation" to "Under Represented", odds became worse.
Is it a mistake or there's something I don't know?
2. When saying "average" you mean each individual school average? For example if Chicago Booth has 20% acceptance rate the "average" is 20%?
Thanks for the question. That sounds odd. We have just updated the tool to accommodate GRE scores so it is possible something is off. I will check it once on a computer.... technically chances should go up.
As to average chances, that indicates that your profile matches the profile of those admitted and so this should be your target school. I don’t know that 50-50 is the best example but definitely better than 20%. I guess it means that that based on the information submitted, your profile is average and that while there’s nothing preventing you from being admitted, there’s also nothing that’s tens out.
Obviously, we are not reading your essays or listening in on your interview or screening your letters of recommendation so there’s a lot of wiggle room and this should basically tell you that you need to put extra umph in those areas to stand out.
Hope it helps and thanks for the question. I will be trying it out.
