Getting Started

What is AdmitBase?+
AdmitBase is a data-driven admissions platform that calculates your personalised admission chances at law, medical, and dental schools. Enter your GPA and test score to instantly see match scores across hundreds of programs, backed by official institutional data.
How do I create an account?+
Click “Get Started” on the homepage. Sign up with your email address, then complete the short onboarding flow — choose your program, enter your GPA and test score. Your match scores are calculated immediately, no waiting.
What information do I need to get started?+
Just your cumulative GPA and your most recent test score (LSAT for law, MCAT for medicine, DAT for dental). Demographics, soft factors, and application details are optional and refine your profile over time.

How the App Works

Dashboard+
Your command centre. See your match category breakdown at a glance — how many of your saved schools are Safety, Target, Reach, or Far Reach — alongside quick stats on your academic profile and actionable widgets.
Schools+
Browse every supported school with a personalised match score calculated in real time. Schools are colour-coded by category: Safety (green), Target (blue), Reach (purple), Far Reach (rose). Filter by region — US, Canada, UK, Europe, or Asia-Pacific.
Favourites+
Build your application shortlist. Schools are automatically grouped by match category so you can see at a glance whether your list is balanced — not too reach-heavy, not too safe.
Score Calculator+
Work backwards from a goal. Enter your GPA and a target school to see exactly what test score you need to reach Safety, Target, or Reach range. Invaluable for study planning. Available on Basic and higher plans.
Analytics+
Interactive scatter plots, box plots, and percentile views that place your GPA and test score inside each school’s admitted applicant distribution. See exactly where you would land in the class. Available on Basic and higher plans.
Applications+
Track every application — status, deadlines, scholarship offers — in one place. Syncs directly to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook so your deadlines and decision wave dates appear alongside the rest of your schedule. Decisions automatically feed the Community dataset if you’ve opted in.
ROI Calculator+
Model the financial return of each school. Compare total debt, monthly payments, and payback period side-by-side across multiple programs to make a financially informed decision. Available on Basic and higher plans.
Community+
Anonymised outcome data — accepted, waitlisted, rejected — contributed by AdmitBase users who have opted in. Every data point includes GPA and test score range, with no names or personal identifiers. See real patterns, not anecdotes.
Compare+
Side-by-side view of how applicants with a similar profile to yours fared at schools you’re considering. Requires community sharing to be enabled.
Profile+
Update your GPA and test score, add demographic details, toggle community sharing, and manage your subscription — all from one page.

Match Scores & Data

How is my match score calculated?+
Scores are percentile-based, compared against each school’s 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile admissions data. Law schools weight LSAT at 60% and GPA at 40%. Medical and dental schools weight test score and GPA equally at 50% each. The resulting score maps to one of four categories: Safety (75–100), Target (50–74), Reach (25–49), Far Reach (0–24).
Where does the school data come from?+
Law school data comes from ABA 509 annual disclosures — the official data every ABA-accredited school is required to publish. Medical school data comes from AAMC published statistics. Dental school data comes from ADEA official guides and ADA survey data.
How current is the data?+
Law school statistics are updated annually as new ABA 509 data is released, typically each spring. The current dataset spans the 2023–2025 admission cycles.

Subscriptions & Support

What's included in the free plan?+
The free plan includes match categories, favourites, and the basic dashboard — enough to see whether a school is a Safety, Target, Reach, or Far Reach. Full numerical match scores, analytics, the score calculator, ROI modelling, and community comparison require a Basic plan ($9.99/mo) or higher.
How do I upgrade or cancel?+
