OUTDATED Chancing Engine Acceptance Rates deserve an update

Answered

Hi, I'm certain that smart people in charge of the benchmark data on the chancing engine have this in the update cue. I think to counterbalance regular "ADMISSIONS CHANCE" range updates, it would be timely and transparent to use the last cycle published acceptance rates from the 2020-2021 admissions cycle. Many of these are outdated. Some would benefit from a 1/10th place decimal because so many schools are now under 10%. For those applying to IVY's, everyone knows what the real rates are. But for other students, it would be very helpful for them to know that schools like BC, Hamilton Macalster, NYU, Colgate, etc are way off.

I also think since the chancing engine is a Predictive Model, it shouldn't be so hard to stub in some Predictive Acceptance rates based on last cycles' acceptance rates. Many of you would agree that rates to the IVYS/ELITES may either stay low or go even lower, while others may stabilize or go higher. Or in lieu of that, just a Green Up, Red Down, or Yellow Stable arrow next to the acceptance rate would suffice as an indicator of CV sentiment.
