<p>So I fairly enjoyed Studious Maximus' new format, and I believe that it might be a better way to continue doing these threads. However, his stats were perfect and he was applying to schools that reject even the best. I am not perfect. Here, I will post my stats, as well as mid range sat scores for each school to speed up the process of chancing.
As before, the rules:</p>
<p>1) For each school I list, you must choose "Accepted," "Waitlisted," or "Rejected." Do not choose "Deferred" for early schools; predict what you think the final result will be.</p>
<p>2) Once I receive all of my results, I'll post them here. You will receive 1 point for a correct response and 0 points for an incorrect response. Whoever gets the most points wins.</p>
<p>3) Only initial results matter. If I'm waitlisted and later accepted at a school, the outcome is still "Waitlisted."</p>
<p>4) Feel free to be as harsh or as generous as you'd like. If you think your best shot at winning involves predicting that I'll be rejected from every school, go right ahead!</p>
