<p>These are real people from the same school who all applied to Harvard. Guess the results.</p>

2

<p>Student A Denied
Student B Accepted
Student C Denied</p>

3

<p>a and b in but not c?</p>

4

<p>Caucasian gets in, Southeast Asian/Asian/or-possibly-Jew doesn't get in.</p>

5

<p>Perhaps I'm overanalyzing this, but why would he have bothered posting this if the obvious answer was right?</p>

<p>I'm going to say C got in, and A and B didn't... just to be different...</p>

6

<p>No one got it right.
Here's a hint. One was accepted, one was denied, one was waitlisted.</p>

7

<p>Ok...for the same reason as above, I'll say A was waitlisted, B was rejected, and C was accepted.</p>

8

<p>What year? Did they need a cellist or a lacrosse player that year? In all honesty, it could go either way on any of the three. What were the relative rankings? Income levels?
A- deferred
B- Admitted
C- Rejected (unless C is a recruited athlete)</p>

9

<p>C was not a recruited athlete. jlauer was close. I'll wait till this thread gets to two or three pages, then explain. I can also tell you where else these people got in.</p>

10

<p>just to be different like jlauer95</p>

<p>a-rejected
b-waitlisted
c-accepted, recruited for sports?</p>

11

<p>Lol. I agree with Cooldude, except for the part about C being a recruited athlete...Mallomar said in a previous post that he wasn't.</p>

12

<p>No one has done the obvious?</p>

<p>a- accepted
b- waitlisted
c- rejected</p>

13

<p>deny, accept, waitlist</p>

14

<p>This is fun :D Come on guys...don't disgrace the chances board...keep trying!</p>

15

<p>waitlist, accept, deny</p>

16

<p>jlauer is still the closest.</p>

17

<p>waitlisted, rejected, accepted</p>

18

<p>Anyone else before I give it away, along with some extra details? I'll wait half an hour.</p>

19

<p>all rejects</p>

20
