What a full University Application Guide report looks like
This is a second, fictional example report — a different made-up student, a different intended major, a different home state — shown to illustrate the report format for marketing and sales purposes. No real student, family, or college decision is represented anywhere on this page.
Every name, score, and dollar figure below is invented for illustration. University Application Guide never states a probability, percentage, or guarantee of admission for any student, fictional or real — only descriptive Reach, Target, and Likely bands, each shown here with the decision factors behind it.
Sample student · Grade 12 · Texas resident
Based on the profiler and academic profile
The top three align with a Social/Investigative interest profile. The secondary fields are worth exploring if this student stays open to adjacent, people-facing paths.
Reach, Target, and Likely — with decision factors
Reach Strong applicants are frequently turned away. Apply, but don't plan around it.
Decision factors: Michigan considers submitted scores, and an ACT of 27 sits below the middle of its recent direct-admit nursing range. Michigan also gates nursing at the time of application, not after enrollment, and out-of-state status raises both the bar and the price.
Target The profile sits inside the admitted range. These are the core of the list.
Decision factors: every University of California (UC) campus is test-blind — the ACT score plays no role at UC Los Angeles, so this band rests on coursework and the four Personal Insight Question (PIQ) responses instead. At Texas A&M, Texas residency supports a favorable general-admission read, though nursing itself uses a separate, more competitive application after the first year — general admission does not guarantee a nursing seat.
Likely Above the typical admitted profile. At least two belong on every list.
Decision factors: in-state tuition and residency put UT Arlington comfortably in range on both cost and academics. Arizona State is test-optional; submitting a 27 supports both admission and merit-aid consideration even as an out-of-state applicant.
Reach, Target, and Likely are descriptive bands — not probabilities. University Application Guide never states a percentage chance of admission, for this fictional student or a real one.
Deadlines and application platforms for every school on the list
Estimated net price against the $30,000/year budget ceiling
3 of 5 schools fall within the $30,000/year budget. UC Los Angeles and Michigan exceed the ceiling without significant aid — worth a family conversation about whether they stay on the list before applications open.
Every report ends with a plan you can act on
A real report closes with a prioritized action list for the student's grade level, and a downloadable copy (Portable Document Format, or PDF) to share with a parent or school counselor.
Do this term
Confirm each school's specific nursing prerequisite courses and minimum grades — requirements vary by school and a missed prerequisite can cost a full application cycle.
Do this summer
Draft the UC Personal Insight Questions early. They are four separate short essays and are not reusable on the Common Application or ApplyTexas.
Discuss at home
Two schools on this list sit above the budget ceiling. Decide together whether they stay before applications open.
