Nine applications land on the same day
November 1 carries 9 of her 15 applications.
One binding application
Early Decision at Cornell commits her before any aid letter arrives.
College figures are each school’s own published, IPEDS-derived numbers. The student shown is fictional; her estimates are produced by the same engine that builds a real list, carry a stated range, and are not a prediction or a guarantee.
We show you what we know, and where we don’t.
Admissions is not predictable, and anything that says otherwise is selling something.
Evidence, with its source attached
Acceptance rates, score bands, tuition, and net price come from each school's own published figures.
- Published
- Modeled
- Inferred
Uncertainty you can see
No probability appears on its own. The range widens when a school publishes less.
Personal, and yours to change
Every estimate runs against your own profile. Change your GPA and the whole list moves.
Decisions stay yours
FalconPrep will tell you when it disagrees with your plan. It won't tell you where to apply.
