Questions, answered.

How does Polaris calculate my chances?

We compare your test scores and GPA against each college’s published middle-50% ranges and acceptance rate using official U.S. Dept. of Education data for 1,520 schools, then factor in the activities and awards you add and the real results students in the community share after decisions come out. Your profile surfaces as reach, target, or likely. It’s a data-grounded estimate, not a guarantee: essays and context still decide.

Who gives the feedback on my application?

Other students and recent applicants in the community: the people who just went through this cycle. You post a Chance Me with your profile and get votes (accept / waitlist / reject) and comments in real time, so you can adjust early instead of finding out in April.
