Here’s what Maya’s parents see
Maya is a sample student — a senior at Mission San Jose High with a 3.9, torn between Computer Science and Data Science. Her report reads both majors against the UCs and Cal States, campus by campus, with her own odds at each. Your student’s is built the same way, from their own school, GPA and majors.

The By major page: each campus’s published rate for both majors, which one reads better there, five years of change — and on the right, Maya’s own estimate.

Where does your student’s major land?
Pick a major. Every dot is a California campus that publishes an admit rate for it — last fall, on one line. Which dot is which campus, and your student’s odds at each, are in the full report.
Everything in your student’s report
Every school and every major we hold
Where a campus publishes by major, you get the major. Where it publishes by college or broad discipline — most UCs — you get that, and the row says which.

Where every number comes from
Each figure is a campus’s own publication: UCLA’s first-year profile by major, UC Berkeley’s admissions dashboard, the UC Information Center’s Freshman admission by discipline, the CSU’s Applications and Admissions by Discipline, the research offices of San Diego State, San José State, Cal State Long Beach, CSUN, Cal State LA, Sacramento State, Cal Poly Humboldt and Cal State Fullerton, each campus’s impaction results, LMU’s institutional research and USF’s nursing admissions page.
UC counts an applicant under the major they proposed, and says major choice is generally not a factor in freshman admission outside programs that admit by major. CSU application counts include withdrawn or incomplete applications, so each major is compared with its own campus’s rate from the same file.
What parents ask
What do you need from me?
Their high school, their GPA, and their first- and second-choice majors. Upload a transcript later if you like and the GPA is recomputed the way UC and Cal State compute it.
Is this a separate purchase from the full report?
No. Odds by major are part of the $47 full report. If you’ve already paid, sign in and open the Majors tab.
My student is undecided. Is it still worth it?
Undecided is a real answer, and several campuses publish it as its own pool. Put down the two fields they’re weighing and the report shows which one each campus reads more kindly. Change the majors and rebuild as often as you like.
Why does one campus show a major and another a “discipline”?
Because that’s as far as the campus publishes. UC San Diego reports first-year admission by broad discipline, so that’s the number we show, labelled as such. We never estimate a major-level rate a campus hasn’t published.
What about USC, Stanford and the other privates?
We checked every California private. Only Loyola Marymount (by major) and the University of San Francisco (Nursing) publish anything below the campus rate.
Is this a subscription?
No. $47 once, for one student. A second student can be added at checkout. 30-day refund, no questions asked.
Read the major, not the campus.
Every UC, every Cal State and the privates that publish by major — first and second choice, five years of record, and your student’s own odds at each.
