FAQ
Common questions about Admit Lens evaluations, documents, privacy, eligibility, support, and sample reports.
Admit Lens is an AI-powered tool that gives students an estimate of their admission chances at specific colleges based on their application profile. It is designed to simulate how an application might be reviewed across academics, activities, context, essays, and other materials, then return an uncertainty-aware estimate. It is not a college decision, privileged access to any admissions office, or an assurance of any outcome.
Admit Lens uses an agentic AI evaluation process. Different parts of the application, such as GPA, course rigor, activities, context, essays, and uploaded documents, are analyzed in depth and then combined into a full application story. That story is compared against the specific college and decision type you selected, such as Regular Decision or Early Action. The result is a probability range, a predicted decision tier, and a confidence level. The same application can receive different estimates for different colleges or decision types.
You need to upload your transcript and school profile as PDFs before running a college scan. These documents help the evaluation understand your academic record and school context. Files are uploaded through the app, checked for malware before they become available, and used with your application profile for the scan.
Admit Lens shows a probability range, not a single percentage, because college admissions are genuinely uncertain. The range reflects the model's uncertainty for that specific college scan. A wider range means there is more uncertainty; a narrower range means the model found more signal in the available information. For example, a scan might show 15-25%, never just one bare percentage. This is a model estimate, not an admissions decision or a prediction of your actual admission outcome.
Admit Lens treats application materials and uploaded files as sensitive student data. Uploaded documents are stored in private storage, download links are short-lived, and scans are run server-side rather than from your browser. The app also limits analytics and error reporting for signed-in minors. The full privacy policy and consent language still need legal review before launch, so this FAQ is not a substitute for those final terms.
Your application profile, uploaded documents, selected colleges, scan jobs, reports, and any admissions outcomes you choose to record are stored so the app can show your results and history. Admissions outcomes are optional and use a separate permission flow. De-identified training-data preparation is built behind a legal-review gate and is not automatically exported. Final retention and deletion rules still need legal review before launch.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use Admit Lens. This is required for legal and data-protection reasons. A college scan also requires a complete application profile plus your transcript and school profile, so the tool is most useful once you have a full application ready, usually in senior year.

If you see "Sample evaluation" or "mock-v1" on a report, that report was generated by the sample evaluation system, not the final production model. It is useful for testing the product flow and report format, but it should not be treated as a real admissions estimate.
You can keep up to 15 colleges on your list. Each college is scanned individually: you select one college, choose the decision type, and run that college-specific evaluation. Each scan may take several minutes because the application is reviewed in detail. The current app includes a monthly scan limit per college; paid extra scans are not implemented yet.
