Acceptance rate and cost come from U.S. Department of Education reporting. Admitted SAT, ACT and GPA come from each college’s Common Data Set, where it publishes one. Every name links to that school’s full read.
Check your own numbers
Where do you stand at these schools?
Add your GPA and scores once. You get a read on every school on this list, and on whether the list you’re building adds up. No account.
Open the chances calculatorCommon questions
How was colleges with the highest graduation rates built?
From published federal reporting and each college’s own Common Data Set. It’s filtered and sorted on the number the list is about. It isn’t a ranking, and nobody set the order by hand.
What should I do with a list like this?
Use it to find schools worth a look. Then check each one against your own numbers. A school being on a list says nothing about whether it fits you. Fit is the question that matters.
What Spike does with this
A list is a start, not a plan.
Spike reads your whole profile against every school on it. Then it works on the parts a list can’t show.
