About these estimates
Approximate school admit rates and SAT ranges anchor these planning figures. The 3.85 GPA, strong activities, and 1310-to-1500 SAT example anchors the comparison. Your inputs adjust it; test-blind schools ignore SAT.
Admissions also depend on coursework, essays, recommendations, context, and school priorities. These figures cannot predict an offer. Likely, target, and reach are labels for this illustration.
School data is an approximate snapshot from published admissions sources and can change. Check each college's current data. Study Share is independent of College Board.
Quick answers
How many colleges are in the Study Share College Odds Explorer?
The College Odds Explorer compares an illustrative scenario across 500 popular U.S. colleges and universities, including national universities, liberal arts colleges, public flagships, and specialty schools. You can search the full list by name or state, filter by likely, target, and reach bands, and sort by biggest change, highest estimate at goal, or A–Z.
How are the college odds figures calculated?
Each school starts from its reported overall admit rate and SAT middle 50% range. A 3.85 GPA, strong activities, and a 1310-to-1500 SAT example anchors the comparison; other scores adjust that example on a log-odds scale, and GPA and activities add transparent scenario weights. Test-blind schools ignore SAT scores entirely.
Are these college odds a prediction of admission?
No. These figures are a planning illustration, not a prediction of admission. They cannot account for essays, recommendations, course rigor, school context, or institutional priorities. Use them to build a balanced college list, not to count on an offer.
What do likely, target, and reach mean on this page?
Likely, target, and reach are labels for the illustrative estimate at your goal score: 60% and above is labeled likely, 30–59% is target, and below 30% is reach (under 10% is shown as high reach). They are page labels for this illustration, not a school's official admissions classification.
What does test-blind mean?
A test-blind school does not consider standardized test scores in admissions at all — for example, the University of California campuses. On this page, changing your SAT score does not change the illustrative estimate for test-blind schools.
