**v2 (current)**: GPBoost -- LightGBM gradient boosting with per-program random intercepts. Trained on 11,100+ labeled records, 13 features, 31 programs. AUC 0.723, Brier 0.206 (5-fold CV).

**v1 (primary)**: Per-program logistic regression on GPA + GRE Quant with bias correction and enhanced profile adjustments. 27 trained models covering all 15 focused programs.

**v1 (fallback)**: Per-program logistic regression on GPA + GRE Quant with bias correction. 23 trained models. Used when GPBoost is not installed.

**v2 (fallback)**: GPBoost -- LightGBM gradient boosting with per-program random intercepts. Trained on 11,100+ labeled records, 13 features, 31 programs. AUC 0.723, Brier 0.206 (5-fold CV). Used for programs without a v1 model.

**Bias correction**: Self-reported data has survivor bias (65% accept rate in data vs 4-30% real). The model replaces the biased intercept with logit(*r*) where *r* is the official acceptance rate, preserving learned feature slopes ([King & Zeng 2001](https://gking.harvard.edu/files/abs/0s-abs.shtml)).
