Updated
by Cristina Hernandez
We're excited to share Admission Intelligence to all Scoir customers. 🚀
Admission Intelligence—or, as we like to call it, Scoir AI—are data-informed tools to help balance college lists and demystify acceptance chances, powered by tens of millions of de-identified outcome records.
Here are a few tools you can now access:
Balanced List Scores: Streamline the creation and evaluation of college lists, quickly identify students in need of support, and effectively track their progress from early list building to application planning. Learn more
Intelligent Match: Save time and set personalized acceptance likelihood at scale for all students and colleges with Intelligent Match. Learn more
Predictive Chances: Beyond Scattergrams, you'll be able to view predicted outcomes based on tens of millions of de-identified application records from real, validated students on the Scoir network. Learn more
Now, let's dive into your questions.
General Questions
What is Admission Intelligence?
Scoir AI does the time-consuming, manual aspect of data collection and initial analysis for you by compiling mountains of verified data for you, providing real-time insights tailored to each student’s unique academic profile.
It's designed to bring clarity and confidence to acceptance chances by providing credible, predictive insights inside the platform you're already using to support informed decision-making.
Balanced List Scores: Streamline the creation and evaluation of college lists, quickly identify students in need of support, and effectively track their progress from early list building to application planning.
Intelligent Match: Save time and set personalized acceptance likelihood at scale for all students and colleges with Intelligent Match.
Predictive Chances: Beyond Scattergrams, you'll be able to view predicted outcomes based on tens of millions of de-identified application records from real, validated students on the Scoir network.
Why is Scoir adding AI to the platform?
Scoir built Admission Intelligence to bring clarity and confidence to this process and incorporated predictive insights directly within the platform.
With tens of millions of validated outcome records, and a multidimensional modeling approach, Scoir AI empowers counselors with trusted insights to guide families toward informed application strategies and decision-making.
What control do counselors have over when students can use these experiences?
Predictive Chances will be presented alongside Scattergrams in your view. Currently, you have the option to display or hide Predictive Chances to students and parents. However, please note this setting for Predictive Chances is subject to change after an evaluation period.
With customizable settings, you choose when, who, and which class years gain access to these new capabilities, keeping you in control while guiding students and their parents.
What's the best way to get started with Scoir AI?
Once you have a better understanding of the tools you can now access, you can begin by configuring your settings and familiarizing yourself with the tools.

Data Questions
What data is driving these predictions?
Scoir leverages machine learning models that go beyond ’s models use a broad approach that goes beyond taking in just academic factors like GPA and test scores. These models also take into account characteristics such as first-generation status, geographic location, race/ethnicity, sex, and high school profile, ensuring a more comprehensive prediction.
Scoir considers the student’s and college’s location, including in-state and out-of-state admission trends. These trends are not specifically programmed into the model but are a result of analyzing historical outcomes that include the applicant’s state. This approach allows the model to naturally reflect location-based patterns in admissions without relying on preset rules.
How is Scoir protecting student data and privacy?
Intelligent Match Questions
What is Intelligent Match?
What is acceptance likelihood?
There are 5 acceptance likelihood categories: Far Reach, Reach, Level, Likely, Very Likely. These labels can be adjusted within high school settings.
How can acceptance likelihood be assigned to a college on a student’s list?
What if I disagree with the predictions from Intelligent Match?
What if I still want to use the Match Level approach to assigning acceptance likelihood?
List Score Questions
What is a List Score?
Can I adjust “balanced list” requirements?
Can I control who sees balanced list scores?
Can I adjust what colleges (Following, Applying, Applied) are considered in balanced list scores?
However, counselors can decide when it’s time to focus on building an application list, at which point the student’s list score will be calculated based on those schools in Applying and Applied states within MyColleges. Learn how
Predictive Chances Questions
How does Scoir derive Predictive Chances?
These de-identified records contain a variety of details about each applicant, their school, the round they apply to and the outcomes. When returning Predictive Chances for a student, the model considers details about that student, comparing outcomes for similar students within similar high schools and presents personalized Predictive Chances for each application round currently offered by that college.
How does Scoir use Machine Learning to power these models?
To ensure confidence in our predictions, Scoir follows industry proven practices by training each model using real application outcomes (training data) and then we test each model’s predictive abilities using additional real application outcomes (testing data) that the model did not see at training time. Scoir repeats these steps to produce Machine learning models for thousands of colleges. As a result of “training” and “testing” these models on a regular basis, Scoir generates and deeply analyzes model performance metrics to determine which models are reliable enough to generate Predictive Chances for our counselors and families.
Each College has its own machine learning model, which allows each model to evaluate the unique trends of each college and how the various features of an applicant (e.g. location, academic performance, high school, personal characteristics, etc) influence the outcomes. As such the models do not require algorithms or formulas to account for certain conditions, but rather the models learn what factors have the greatest influence on the outcomes for each college.
Do Predictive Chances consider my school’s outcomes?
Do Predictive Chances consider just the GPA and standardized test scores?
Do Predictive Chances consider the student’s location?
Do Predictive Chances consider individual factors like course selection, rigor, test-optional, or extracurricular activities?
Please note: The adoption of tools like Secondary School Reports will enrich our models’ view of an applicant and afford more comprehensive predictions in the future.
What years of data are included in the predictions?
What’s the difference between Predictive Chances and Scattergram?
