How can I see my Early Decision chances on the chancing simulator?
Answered

I know collegevine recently updated, and I think there's something new with the early decision factor, right? Where can I see/use that?

If you go to "MY LIST", you will see a list of your colleges.

When you select a college there is a label called "application round" and underneath it a "drop-down" selection widget that defaults as "Regular" with a "V" down arrow next to it. Click on the "V" down arrow and you will see the other "drop-down" selections. You will either see a Blue choice for "EA (Non-binding)", a Red Choice for "Transfer" or a 2 green choices for "ED I - (Binding)" and "ED II - (Binding)".

Make your choices for the application round and then hit the refresh button on your browser. If you have 20 schools, then make all your choices first and then hit the refresh on your browser.

You should be able to see subtle differences between the selection rounds.

-EA, EDI, and EDII will have higher acceptance chancing rates

-Regular should be the standard chancing rate.

-Transfer could be higher or lower based on the historical transfer rates.

the chances doesn't change when I do that.

The accuracy of making the selection is not my department. So @leon you should email support at Collegevine for that. If your chancing rates are very low, then they are going to remain very low. My impression is that you see a difference if your chances are above 25% for regular decision.
