Thanks. Re: Caltech - if I recall correctly, there wasn't enough data for it to produce results when I ran the algorithm last year. I suspect we'll have enough this year (I'll probably re-run the algorithm in a few weeks). Basically the entire site is dedicated to gathering information from students, and then transforming that data into something useful for them. So I gather the info directly (over 250,000 college apps from 50,000 different people are in the system by now). I honestly have no idea why I thought I could get away with adding together the 25th and 75th percentiles for SAT subscores on that page; it's not something I do elsewhere on the site. (I'm using "I" here since I'm sure this is my fault alone.) Thanks for pointing that out! Edit: I forgot about Princeton. The Elo points can be a bit hard to decipher on the fly; for example, Yale should only beat Princeton in 59:41 fashion - not exactly a drubbing. Here's an Ivy+Stanford+MIT cross-admit comparison based on this data - http://college.mychances.net/tools/college-choice-matrix.php?list[]=342&list[]=544&list[]=3&list[]=1737&list[]=1519&list[]=165&list[]=1034&list[]=319&list[]=762&list[]=361 http://college.mychances.net/tools/college-choice-matrix.php...
