Game: predict where your friends will get accepted/rejected/matriculate

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Real life isn't the "chance me" forums so I often have to refrain from saying things when my friends tell me that they're applying to certain colleges, like "just because your stats are within range does not mean you are going to be accepted!!!" or "that college is not your safety!!!!!!!"</p>

<p>So this is just a fun game to predict things you can't say out loud. Predict based on anybody you know but state their relationship to you (e.g. best friend, neighbor, frenemy, competition, worst enemy, random classmate that you envy). Even if you don't know their full stats or the schools they're applying to, take a stab at it. It'll be fun to look back at this thread in a couple of months and see the reality of it. I'll start with a few.</p>

<p>Best friend 1 (really high stats likable URM):
Accepted: everywhere she applies, she's only applying to 2 reaches so I think it's reasonable to assume she'll get into both.
Matriculate: Duke</p>

<p>Best friend 2 (mid 1900s SAT, ORM):<br>
Accepted: Bunch of state schools
Rejected: UVA
Matriculate: Virginia Tech</p>

<p>Frenemy (downward trend, very rigorous course load, amazing ECs, good essay writer, lowish SAT but may go up to at least 1900, URM)
Accepted: Bunch of state schools, GW
Rejected: UVA, Georgetown
Matriculate: James Madison</p>

<p>Yes, it's kind of morbid to predict where others will get rejected, but tbh deep down we all think it.</p>

<p>Best Friend (ACT 35, So-so curriculum rigor, Few ECs):
-Accepted: Tufts, RPI, UAH.
-Rejected: Stanford, Vanderbilt, WashU.

<p>Bumping this by doing another</p>

<p>Biggest competition (2030 SAT, high course rigor, great ECs with lots of leadership)
Accepted: UVA, William and Mary, Virginia Tech, Case Western
Rejected: Carnegie Mellon (she wants to do CS lol)
Matriculate: Case Western</p>

<p>I don’t have any friends.</p>

<p>when you say “friend”…do you mean, like, calculus? </p>

<p>@sumobats‌ this is a little aside, but is your biggest competition really interested in case? it had a big case of tufts syndrome this past year. Waitlisted a lot of very high stat kids that didn’t show interest to protect its yield.</p>
