Scoring Legend

The gap between your score and the number of points assigned to each school determineshow likely you are to be admitted:

-7 or less = Stretch-5 / -6 = Closer to being a Stretch than to being Competitive-4 = Between competitive and stretch-3 = Close to being Competitive than to being a Stretch-1 / -2 = Competitive0 = Competitive with potential for a significant scholarship+1 = Competitive/Strong with potential for a significant scholarship+2 or greater = Strong with potential for a significant scholarship

Competitive:

The admission committee will hesitate before making a decision. Estimated admission

chances are somewhere around 50%. The result will be greatly influenced by: a. Profiles of other applicants in the same round, and

b. The identity (and mood!) of the admission committee members reviewing theapplication.

Strong with potential for a significant scholarship:

There is a good chance that you will be accepted, possibly with a significant scholarship.Estimated admission chances are somewhere around 75-80%.

Stretch:

Candidates with similar profiles rarely get accepted to this program. Estimated admissionchances are somewhere around 10%.
