My first sentiment is that this had already been done - and done pretty well - by other groups. Collegedata.com has a decent system and makes admissions predictions (though it's a front for a student loan company). Mychances.net appears to be very active in this field, too. It isn't clear to me exactly what criteria they use for predictions at any given school, but they have stated that they use gpa, sat, sat subject tests, class rank, ethnicity, state of origin, legacy status, and sports recruitment. In other words, other people seem to have done a pretty good job of extracting what they can out of the quantifiable data.
I hope it's not rude for me to ask what this new group offers that those two, plus collegeboard, unigo, and a handful of others, do not?
