Is CollegeVine planning on updating the chancing calculator for test-blind schools?
Answered

I don't know if they already have that as a feature for schools that have been test-blind for a while, I don't think any of those are on my list. But the UC's just went test-blind (or "test-free" as they like to call it) for the foreseeable future, and I'd like to know how that affects my admissions chances. Is this going to be a feature at some point?

Thanks!

Same, my top choice is test blind so I don't know how that is impacted on how accurate my estimated chance is.

I'm certain that the CV chancing engine will have monthly updates that take into consideration pertinent new information as it becomes released by the schools in the press. Since the UC announcement affects 11 college campuses, it takes take longer than a simple bit of writing code.

It's uncertain what the true impact of the UCs going test blind will be but I'm fairly confident that all the top UC campuses like UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and UCSB will be getting a record amount of applications over the next 3 cycles (which is how long the moratorium not to consider test scores will last). That may push down admit rates slightly rather than making them go up. So it might appear more difficult for your average applicant.
