What a Match Score is not

Not your odds. Not for sale. Not a ranking you can buy your way up.

A Pathwise Match Score is a weighted fit across ten dimensions. Each dimension has importance and confidence. If you say you want a bigger school but you are not sure, that weight shrinks. It does not delete Trinity.

A Match Score is not your chance of getting in. We do not invent admission percentages. Labels stay Likely, Possible, Reach, High Reach, or Insufficient data.

A Match Score is not a product colleges can buy. If something is paid placement, it is labeled Sponsored and it never enters the score.

Hard constraints are different from the score. Texas-only excludes Kenyon. That is a door closing, not a quiet penalty.
