<p>Submitted 12/22/07 -> 12:26</p>
<p>I didn't think we had, but others thought we had, so I dropped it. The only thing that I have against it is that I submitted mine a few days early and got a 12:26 time, whereas several submitted on January 1 and also got 12:26. I would think that the most applications would be submitted those last few days, putting distance between us.</p>
<p>ETA: And Sacrafice submitted like a week before I did, thus making me believe it even less.</p>
<p>My friend had nearly the same stats as you Sac, except with math being an 800 (he was also vale).</p>
<p>He got in ED.</p>
<p>I think we said somewhere in the middle (too lazy to go find it, sorry) some people who submitted on 1/1 had times in the 12's and people who submitted early had some times in 2's.
I submitted on the 27th and I'm in the 1 range.</p>
<p>Submitted 12/22, 12:26</p>
<p>submitted 12/30, 12:24</p>
<p>This theory hs several flaws:
-you are assuming it started at 12:00, yet no one has posted a time earlier than 12:24</p>
<p>-you are bassing this heavily on how people asses themselves (weak, strong, maybe, etc....)</p>
<p>-Assuming 1-2 computers</p>
<p>-Not diffrentiating between colloeges</p>
<p>But it is fun to watch this. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Here is my info</p>
<p>ILR, 12:24, I my chances are slim but idk</p>
<p>"ya know this thread has grown from 10 pages to 30 pages in 24 hours"
"^shows the addicting nature of CC"</p>
<p>shows how incredibly antsy we are!
this is why colleges shouldnt wait till 3/31 to release decisions
<em>rummages back into the CC time killing trap</em></p>
<p>Ok, I dug through my email to find the day. 12/30.</p>
<p>Which means that for 12:26, we have two people who submitted 12/22, one for 12/30, and two (I think, I don't feel like digging up the posts) on 1/1.</p>
<p>waitlist/accept/reject is what I am going with..for now.</p>
<p>While waitlist can be granted to overqualified people, it can also be given to people who they want, but just can't be guarenteed a spot until after May 1.
However, it seems like the majority of 12 o' clockers are overqualified.</p>
<p>But if you put it that way, they're almost waitlisting double the amount of people who are getting accepted...</p>
<p>but there were people last night who were in the 2:00s who said they got likelies. how do you explain that with your theory?</p>
<p>yeah, um, I don't think you can be overqualified for an ivy league, even Cornell... waitlisting "overqualified" people (Whatever that means..) would be stupid because what if HYPS thought that they just didn't cut it?</p>
<p>I'm 12:24 btw, and I don't think I'm overqualified... nor do I think ANYONE on here would be overqualified for Cornell.</p>
<p>prez, i can't..w/e.</p>
<p>But sylenteck, if you look at sacrafice's graph just over 50% would be accepted (which may or may not be an accurate estimate of a CC acceptance rate).</p>
<p>Have you also noticed that all of these likelies are engineering? Engineering is half the size of CAS. There are almost no CAS in the 1 o'clock time range.</p>
<p>5/25 for CAS in your theory. Although that is around the right acceptance rate, you have to take in account who exactly is in the sample. CCers are definitely not a representative cross-section of the general population.</p>
<p>The only way we can be sure is to double check with the applicant whose grandfather was in the admissions committee. Otherwise, we are just trying to solve a big riddle with little information.</p>
<p>But it's fun :)</p>
<p>what if this is just in the order that they reviewed our applications? meaning, it doesn't reveal the actual decisions?</p>
<p>I did the online app and it says I submitted it 12/31 and they downloaded it on 1/1. My time said 12:26.</p>
