OK, it means you have to select a really good one and write about it. The terms are even for all candidates, you are not the only one who suffer from this.

One additional thought about it – I think this model gives too many points to the essays, which seem to be less important this year after some top programs cut the number of essays of words. I think it was Dee Leopold of Harvard who said "it shouldn't be a writing contest".

I agree with you about the fact that only a limited sample of your profile stats is used, so you should take the prediction with a grain of salt, but it can give you some idea of the main factors you can work on to improve your chances - manage people, promotions, awards...

Yes, I know my profile is not the best, and that I'm a stretch candidate in the top programs. The other elements in my profile are OK I guess, not too good and not too bad. That's why I'm wondering if this tool is predictive.

690 (will probably retake).
Undergrad in business, GPA 3.2.

ANYONE?
Any past applicants who can compare the tool's prediction with their actual outcome?
Thanks!
