How accurate is the admission chances calculator?

Our predictor is based on reported admission data for each college. It gives a realistic probability range — not a guarantee — based on GPA, test scores, and selectivity.

What GPA do I need to get into college?

It depends on the college. Most 4-year colleges accept students with a 2.5+ GPA. Highly selective schools typically expect 3.8+ unweighted.
