About PredictAdmit
Feel decision day before it counts.
Rehearse the moment on a fictional portal. Grade your essays against a tough read. See where you actually stand. All of it for less than lunch.
What makes this different
A real decision-day rehearsal plus a full AI toolkit, priced for students. One rule we do not bend: we are honest about what is simulated and what is not.
Rehearse decision day
Open a fictional portal, status page, or decision letter for any of 39 schools and feel the moment before it counts. Every screen says "simulation" on it. That is the point — you get to flinch here instead of on the real day.
The portal sims are free
Open any decision portal and rehearse it — accepted, denied, waitlisted — as many times as you want, no card required. The AI tools (essay grader, counselor, chances predictor, mind-map) you can try before you pay for anything.
Pro is the AI prediction
Pro is where the AI reads your actual application and predicts your likely decision at every school, with the full analysis behind it and unlimited essay grading. Your first prediction is free; Lifetime access is $25 once (or $9.99/mo), or $4.99 for a single school. Cheaper than an hour with a private consultant.
We tell you what is fake
Every simulated screen is labeled fictional and independent. We do not guarantee admission and we never dress up a prediction as an official decision. The AI critiques your writing. It does not write it. The essay stays yours.
One upgrade. Every limit gone.
The portal sims are free. Pro is where the AI reads your real application — for less than a private consultant charges per minute.
Run your real profile against all 39 schools as often as you like. Change an essay, rerun, see what moved. That is the loop consultants bill by the hour.
Every prediction comes with five scored dimensions, a committee-style written critique, and a ranked list of what to fix for that school. The why, not just the verdict.
Ten inline notes plus a harsh read and an honest admissions-officer read on every draft. See it before a real committee does.
What students tell us
Illustrative quotes from students using PredictAdmit.
"Opening the fake Stanford portal genuinely scared me. Then I went back and rewrote two essays I had thought were fine. Worth it."
"The essay grader flagged the cliché opening I was about to submit. And the breakdown on my simulated rejection pointed straight at the weakest part of my application."
"I ran my list against every school until the ones that did not fit fell off on their own. Easiest money I spent all season."
Frequently asked questions
Is PredictAdmit free? +
The portal decision simulations are free — open any school, rehearse the moment, no card required. Your first AI prediction is free too. After that, Lifetime access is $25 once (or $9.99/mo) for all 39 schools, unlimited re-runs, and the essay workshop. Care about one school only? A single-school unlock is $4.99.
Are the decision letters real? +
No. The portals, status pages, and letters are made up, and every screen says so. They are here so decision day is not the first time you feel it. Nothing on this site comes from an actual university.
What does Pro include? +
The AI reading of your application across all 39 schools, the full analysis behind each prediction (five scored dimensions plus what to fix), unlimited essay grading, the AI counselor, and the mind-map planner. One payment, no add-ons.
How accurate is the predictor? +
It is an estimate, not a promise. It tells you how an application like yours tends to do so you can build a sane list and spend your effort where it moves the needle. No model can guarantee a real decision, and we do not pretend otherwise.
Where does the prediction data come from? +
The factor weights come from NACAC — the National Association for College Admission Counseling, the professional body for 28,000+ admission officers and counselors — and their "Factors in the Admission Decision" survey, which reports how much four-year colleges weight grades, rigor, test scores, essays, and the rest. We then calibrate those weights against admitted-student profiles from HYPSM and Top-20 universities in the 2026 cycle, and against our own founding team's results. NACAC is independent and does not endorse PredictAdmit.
