<p>This is not a chances thread, but rather one to guess what my college decisions were. I will post results on Wednesday, or whenever I have several responses.</p>

<p>Schools: Vanderbilt, Richmond Wharton, Davidson, Bucknell, Duke, Miami, Tulane, Rhodes, Franklin & Marshall, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky, South Carolina, Drexel, Baylor</p>

<p>Hint: One school was ED, one school was EA, the rest were RD/rolling, and there was a deferral involved somewhere. </p>

SAT I (breakdown): 2310 (730 CR, 800 M, 780 W) (taken twice)

<p>So some people think that I didn’t get into Duke and Vandy, but I got into Wharton? I am not going to say either way, but that is interesting.</p>

7

<p>@surviviorFan If its Wharton then that is the deferral the rest you got into.</p>

<p>@survivorfan please chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1633939-chance-me-at-engineering-schools-u-of-il-uc-u-of-il-chicago-purdue-u-of-texas-austin.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1633939-chance-me-at-engineering-schools-u-of-il-uc-u-of-il-chicago-purdue-u-of-texas-austin.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

9

<p>Two more guesses then I will post results…</p>

10

<p>Deferred Wharton, ultimately accepted. Rejected Duke. Accepted everywhere else.</p>

11

<p>Waitlist Davidson, reject Duke, accept all else</p>

12

<p>I will post results when I get home this afternoon. </p>

13

<p>These guesses were pretty funny to read. First of all, Wharton was NOT the ED application- Duke was. But, it was not the deferral either, but a flat out rejection. The deferral (and an ultimate acceptance) was EA at Tulane.</p>

<p>You all were, as a whole, too optimistic, but here they are:
Vanderbilt- Waitlist (consensus was accept- but @Haverford2020 got it right)
Richmond- Accept (right)
Wharton- Reject (somehow everyone thought I got in)
Davidson- Waitlist (only @vpatwardhan got it right)
Bucknell- Accept (right)
Duke- Reject (almost all got it right but Haverford2020)
Miami- Accept (right)
Tulane- Deferred --> Accepted (right on ultimate result)
Rhodes- Accept (right)
F&M- Accept (right)
Alabama- Accept (right)
Oklahoma- Accept (right)
Kentucky- Accept (right)
South Carolina- Accept (right)
Drexel- Accept (right)
Baylor- Accept (right)</p>

<p>The winner is Vpatwardhan, as he got the Vanderbilt waitlist right, while @emshadez (who was also 14/16), did not specify that I was waitlisted there.</p>

<p>So close, I knew Duke wouldn’t go through but Wharton seemed likely. Good luck, that’s a great list of options.</p>

15

<p>Congratulations!</p>

16

<p>Congratulations! It’s a great list to choose from.</p>
