College admissions are not independent events

@rejectedlion2016 Yes, I know that two events are dependent does not imply causality. What I might have misunderstood was the probabilities we use when defining dependence.

For example, if we assigned probabilities of two events based on a Bayesian interpretation (i.e. state of belief) versus a frequentist interpretation, we might come up with two different conclusions. I didn’t say anything about causality. However this is mostly philosophical in nature, which I’d rather not get into too deeply.
