摘要

A system and method for generating an admittance prediction based on historical admittance data that predicts whether a particular member of a social networking system will be admitted to a particular education institution is disclosed. A social networking system stores admittance data for a plurality of education institutions. The social networking system receives a request for a prediction concerning whether a first member of a social networking service will be admitted to a first education institution in the plurality of education institutions. The social networking system compares qualification data associated with the first member to admittance data stored in memory of the social networking server. The social networking system generates an admittance prediction based on the comparison of the qualification data associated with the first member with historic admittance data. The social networking system transmits the admittance prediction to the client system for display.
