## Methodology

AdmitBase calculates a percentile-based match score using each school's official 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile admitted test score and GPA. The score is a weighted combination of where the applicant sits relative to the test and GPA distribution, calibrated per programme type using empirically derived weights (e.g., 60% LSAT and 40% GPA for law, 50% MCAT and 50% GPA for medicine). The match score is then mapped to a four-category label and, optionally, to a calibrated admission probability via a logistic model anchored to the school's acceptance rate.

## MCP server (Model Context Protocol)

AdmitBase exposes a public Model Context Protocol server so AI assistants and agents can query admissions data directly, without scraping. The endpoint is free to use, anonymous for read-only tools, and rate-limited.

- **Endpoint**: https://admitbase.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport, MCP protocol version 2025-06-18)
- **Discovery manifest**: https://admitbase.com/.well-known/mcp.json
- **Install hub**: https://admitbase.com/mcp (config snippets for Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT custom connectors)
- **Docs**: https://admitbase.com/articles/admitbase-mcp-for-ai-assistants
- **Public tools** (no auth): `search_schools` (find schools by program/name/ranking), `get_school_stats` (full admissions stats per school), `calculate_match_score` (Safety/Target/Reach + admission probability for one school or a ranked list).
- **Authenticated tools** (require `Authorization: Bearer amb_...` header, generated at https://admitbase.com/profile#api-keys): `save_my_stats`, `compare_to_applicants`.
- **Rate limits**: 60 requests/minute/IP anonymous; 600/minute authenticated.
- **Coverage**: 500+ schools across law, medical, dental, MBA, pharmacy, veterinary, optometry — same data that powers admitbase.com.

## Editorial standards

All AdmitBase articles are written and reviewed by the AdmitBase Editorial Team (https://admitbase.com/about). The team specialises in law, medical, dental, MBA, pharmacy, veterinary, and optometry school admissions. AdmitBase uses official institutional data exclusively — never self-reported applicant outcomes from forums or community polls — to avoid the well-documented ~10% selection bias of community-reported admissions data. Articles cite their primary sources inline and are updated when new disclosure data is released. Contact: support@admitbase.com.
