College prediction game!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

These are more or less a list of colleges that I’m planning to apply to. I’m going to remove a few as time goes on, but I probably won’t add any additional ones:
Yale (SCEA)
MIT
Princeton
Harvard
U Chicago
Penn
Columbia
Cornell
Dartmouth
Duke
Georgetown
Northwestern
Emory
Williams
UC Berkeley/UCLA
Wake Forest

To participate in this game, you must copy paste either part of or all of the college list and write: accepted, rejected, or waitlisted next to each name as your prediction for the decision for that college. After all the college decisions arrive by the end of April, I’ll return to this thread. Scores for each person who predicts my college decisions will be calculated as follows: [correct decision] - 0.25*[incorrect decision]. For colleges that I didn’t apply to, their prediction doesn’t count towards a correct or incorrect decision. The winner of the game will be given a 25 dollar gift card of their choice.
Have fun (:

My list is basically like yours, except I’m applying to 11. Sadly, I’m also an unhooked asian male. We even have the same SAT I.

Also, I would add a safety to your list.

3

Anticipated major at the schools?

4

Only having 2 years of high school math will definitely shut you out at higher tier schools (especially STEM ones). A lot of schools require 3 years of high school math, so you won’t even be eligible to apply to many colleges/ universities.

5

You have way too many reaches and no safeties.

6

Tbh nerding out but you should subtract 1/2 point because 3 options, (1/3)1 - (2/3)(1/2) makes exp val zero ok I’m out

@ap012199 , I took multivariable sophomore year so there weren’t any more math classes that I was eligible for. I took geometry for credit before freshman year, so that’s where I can get my 3rd year of math if absolutely needed

@danfer91 , I’m obviously not applying to every school on this list, as have to yet to narrow my entire list. My safeties are all the lower-tier UCs. Besides, the point of this thread was to have a bit of fun with the whole college application and decision process, not to make an accurate list of colleges. Sheesh.

@AskMeWhyCalSucks , lol yeah i thought about that but 1/3 is too hard to claculate

@tomatox1 How is that obvious? You might be surprised with some of the lists people come up with. There’s certainly no reason to act like an indignant little jerk about it when I’m just trying to help you. Sheesh, you’re unbearable.

@danfer91 thanks for your concern I guess, but I say in my post “I’m going to remove a few as time goes on.” sorry for being an “indignant little jerk,” I was just trying to respond your question.
