CAP Score Color Coding
To aid you in your school search, we've grouped schools into categories based on their scores. Once you have determined your CAP score, find the color code that fits. The schools with this color will be your best fits. Schools with the color above will be stretch schools, and below may not be vigorous enough. In many cases, your Likely Admissions level score and your Elite Adnut level score will be in different color categories. If this occurs for ou, know that schools in your admissions color band will most likely accept you, but schools in your elite level band are the ones that will recruit you most aggressively.
