I want to share a couple of resources for students that may help them gauge how likely they are to be admitted to a particular school, based on the courses they've taken in high school, their standardized test scores and their GPA.
On College Board's web site, you can search for colleges of interest and then click on the "How Do I Stack Up?" link. From there the student enters his/her high school classes (number of years of English, math, etc.), SAT scores and GPA and then receives a report showing how they "stack up to students who got in and enrolled".
Another resource is a free web site called Cappex. Students need to create an account first, and then they can get similar feedback as what the College Board tool provides. (I wrote about Cappex here in an earlier post.) Cappex also allows schools to contact students via the Cappex web site when there might be a good fit.
