On Thursday, December 29, Dr. Sybil Gohari, founder of The Admissions Company, introduced The Admissions Company’s new Odds Calculator app to a group of parents and students at Inspiring Test Preparation’s office in McLean, VA.
Dr. Gohari’s app helps high school students determine their chances of gaining acceptance to a particular college or university. To assess their odds, students enter their biographical, academic and extracurricular information into the calculator, which, using a proprietary formula developed over the past decade.
The Admissions Company hopes that this tool will help high school juniors and seniors better plan their application process by choosing colleges based on their odds. The Admissions Company also hopes this tool will help high school freshmen and sophomores better plan their academic curricula and activities to aim for the college of their dreams.
Dr. Gohari also spoke to the group more broadly about college admissions and answered participants’ questions.
