Admissions planning estimate

96% baseline · Medium data confidence

Sensitivity range: 81%–99%. This is a modelling range, not a statistical confidence interval or a personal admission probability.

Open-admission institution policy (IPEDS 2024); 96% is a planning prior conditional on eligibility, not an observed admit rate. Selective programmes may differ.

Reviewed 2026-10-01. Recommendations also use your grades, intended course, eligibility and available entrance cutoffs.
