For Counselors: Using Predictive Chances

Cristina Hernandez Updated by Cristina Hernandez

Scattergrams offer valuable insights, but they are constrained by the data available from your high school, which may not always be comprehensive.

With Predictive Chances, you can go beyond traditional metrics like GPA and test scores. Using outcomes from thousands of individuals with similar profiles, see round-level and individual predictions for each college and help students make informed decisions about where to apply and when. Plus, you can see how adjustments in GPA or test scores could impact their chances.

Viewing Predictive Chances

You’ll spot Predictive Chances alongside Scattergrams throughout Scoir whenever you see this while searching for colleges on behalf of a student. Let’s walk through how to view Predictive Chances on a student’s college list:

Students and parents will see Predictive Chances in Scoir only if permitted by the school
  1. Go to the student’s profile and select Colleges & Applications > My Colleges from the left menu. Or, you can go directly to their My Colleges page by clicking the student’s score in the List Score column from the student roster
  2. Click on a college tile to open the College Detail Panel. If you’re in the table view, hover over the college name and select Preview to view the panel
  1. Within the Admission Intelligence section of the College Detail Panel, locate the Predictive Chances table

The Predictive Chances table provides a personalized probability of acceptance for each application round. Each row shows the application round, the corresponding deadline, and the estimated chance of admission, which is highlighted in purple.

Predictive Chances are generated by a multi-dimensional predictive model. The more complete the student’s profile, the more accurate the results. The model requires at least a GPA or Standardized test score but will continue to prompt for more details to inform more accurate predictions.

Predictive Chances will not be displayed for colleges with Open Admission. Additionally, predictions may not be available if it’s the college’s first time offering a particular round of admission or if Scoir lacks sufficient historical data.

Simulate changes to a student's GPA or test scores

Simulated GPA and test scores will not be saved to the student profile

  2. Click on a college tile to open the College Detail Panel. If you’re in the table view, simply hover over the college name and select Preview to view the panel
  3. In the Admission Intelligence section of the College Detail Panel, locate Simulate Profile just below the Predictive Chances table. Click Open to access the simulation controls
  1. The sliders will be set to the student’s GPA and test scores, provided these details are entered in the student profile
  1. Enable controls and adjust values to see updates in the predictive chances table
Turning off SAT and ACT does not simulate a Test-Optional policy
