Real Accuracy vs. Guesswork

LLMs give general advice based on outdated or generalized data, typically achieving only ~50% accuracy. Vega uses live data and per-school weighting to deliver 80% accuracy on admission outcomes. That difference means fewer wasted applications and far more confident decisions.

What students say

“I asked ChatGPT about my chances and got generic advice. Vega showed me exactly where I stood — and where I could improve.”

Emily T.

“LLMs told me to ‘apply broadly.’ Vega told me exactly which 8 schools matched my profile. I got into 6.”

David K.

“The What-If simulator changed everything. No LLM could show me how a 40-point SAT increase would affect my odds at each school.”

Aisha N.
