Why Parchment?
A college's acceptance rate tells you about the average applicant's chances of admission. But you aren't the average
applicant. To find out what your chances really are, you'd have to get a broad sample of accepted and rejected
students at each college. Fortunately, tens of thousands of prior college applicants have generously shared their
own admissions results with Parchment, working with us to create a more transparent admissions process.
How do we get these numbers?
Our college predictions, ranking, and recommendations are powered by 765,689
college applications-the largest application database online. With data from thousands
of students like you, we create statistical predictions to give you a meaningful
estimate of your chances of admission to any college in our database.
