Can I get in? Check your chances
Enter your GPA and SAT or ACT. We sort every 4-year college in the states you pick into reach, target and likely, comparing you with the students each college admitted where a state publishes those numbers, with GPA, and otherwise with entering students' ranges. Loaded so far: Florida's 12 public universities and the 9 University of California campuses (admitted students), and Virginia's public and private colleges (entering students). Everywhere else we use federal test-score data for entering students.
How this works
Likely means your numbers are at or above the 75th percentile on every measure we can compare; reach means below the 25th percentile on any of them; target is in between. Colleges admitting under 20% of applicants are never labeled likely.
Admitted vs enrolled. Federal data describes students who enrolled, not everyone who was admitted, and has no GPA. Where a state publishes admitted students' ranges we use those instead; where it publishes entering students' GPA (Virginia) we add that. For Florida State, admitted fall students had SATs of 1380–1480; enrolled students, 1270–1410. A 1360 is a reach by the first and a target by the second, so the source matters.
It's a comparison, not a probability. Colleges also weigh the courses you took, essays, activities, residency and your intended major. Use reach / target / likely to balance a list, not to rule a college out.

About the colleges in these results
- Reach, target and likely compare your numbers with the middle 50% of a college's students. They are not probabilities: colleges also weigh course rigor, essays, activities, residency, intended major and institutional priorities, and ranges change every year.
- For Florida public universities, admission comparisons use the middle 50% of ADMITTED students from the State University System's 2026-27 Counselor Guide. Their GPAs are weighted and recalculated by each university from core courses, so your school's weighted GPA may differ. Summer-start admits are shown separately.
- For Virginia colleges, comparisons use GPA and test-score percentiles of students who ENROLLED in fall 2026, as reported to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), not of everyone admitted. SCHEV doesn't say whether GPAs are weighted, so a GPA above a college's range doesn't by itself make it likely. We drop ranges reported by fewer than 20 students and correct obvious source errors; each correction is listed below.
- For University of California campuses, comparisons use the middle 50% GPA of students ADMITTED for fall 2026, published by UC. UC calculates its own weighted GPA (grades 10-11, honors points capped), which can be lower than your school's weighted GPA, and does not consider SAT or ACT scores.
- Where no state publishes admitted or entering students' ranges, comparisons use federal SAT/ACT ranges of students who ENROLLED in Fall 2024 (College Scorecard), with no GPA. Enrolled ranges can differ from the ranges of admitted students.
