Hi all, I'm wondering how to gauge the chances i have of making it into a PhD program.
First approximation: took ratio of accepted students to number of students who applied.
But: that produced a 116/487 = 24% chance of being admitted to U-Cal San Diego, verses a 45/260 = 18% chance of being admitted to Rutgers. I hear Rutgers is less competitive than San Diego.
Suggestions on other ways to improve this first approximation of "chances of successfully-being-admitted"? Perhaps other factors need to enter into some sort of linear combination? :)
