There are countless forums where you can get random people to calculate your chances of getting into certain colleges, but these aren’t accurate at all due to bias and inexperience of the forum members. Not only do you have to wait hours if not days for a response, but you also can’t get estimates at more than a few schools because it’d take too much time for someone to give you a free response.
To solve these problems, I created CalculateMyChances. Just enter your new SAT score (out of 2400), and you will instantly get reasonably good feedback on your chances of getting into hundreds of different colleges. Included are your odds of getting into all the Ivys – Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, and even schools like Stanford, UCLA, and UC Berkeley! Before I made the site there were a few other services that estimated your chances, but I found their implementation either poor or annoying to use. The frustrating ones asked you to sign up for their service, which simply wasn’t worth the effort. The others were created by those lacking even the most basic understanding of statistics and were completely inaccurate. Try out CalculateMyChances and let me know how you like it in the comments!

Maybe you should consider changing the SAT metric to reflect the fact that 1600 is the new max, not 2400.
