<p>Well, it is easy for you to say, You are already in Yale</p>
<p>Major LMAO. Both at OP and the recent 4 replies. Brightened up my Christmas. :P</p>
<p>That being said, what has been described is very likely to be true. Good luck, everyone! ;)</p>
<p>You better watch out ivyaspire09; the adcoms immediately reject anyone who can’t pick up on sarcasm</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>nope, sorry. college confidential puppy on HSL pwns this one by far.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>haha. no, this is not how it works. although if the process actually WAS like this, it might be easier to understand…</p>
<p>I thought they wall-paper the walls with all the applications, and then throw a few thousand darts. The applications that get hit are accepted.</p>
<p>“i vote this the most funniest thread on CC!!”</p>
<p>No wonder you were deferred…</p>
<p><em>I keed, I keed</em></p>
<p>^ Don’t poke the bear.</p>
<p>Actually, from what I hear…</p>
<p>They weed out everyone with horrendously bad stats and then randomly sort applications into 9-12 piles for the admissions committee. From there on, 4 weeks of intense-fast-paced bingo begins. Each round you get assigned a number and that number corresponds to a person in your application pile; if a bingo is called the person gets in. If two people get bingo at the same time the applicants are deferred/rejected (during EA they purposely make the bingo cards similar so they can defer more people). At the end of the day the person who received the most bingos gets $75 for each person they got admitted. No one else gets any money.</p>
<p>bahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha!!! this just made my night.</p>
<p>who’s the bear???</p>
<p>the government is the bear.</p>
<p>personally, i find it more analogous to a narwhal.</p>
<p>speaking of narwhals, did you know that the word norwhale doesn’t exist?! I swear it was a species of whale. but i guess not. i think someone should discover a new whale species and name it the norwhale :D</p>
<p>DixonLi, you are amazing.</p>
<p>loll also, CCers are much more creative than I thought :P</p>
<p>I always assumed they just played 52 pickup to choose who gets accepted.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is definitely not the funniest thread I’ve ever read on CC. Let me see if I can dig out a better one…</p>
<p>I think if you read the quadruplets thread that you will get a good idea of how they go about choosing people.</p>
<p>^ No, this thread is the absolute best reference ever. Every word is true, brought to you by our intrepid CC researchers from behind adcom walls.</p>
<p>Hahahaha, made my night.
Bee tee dubs, I’d be all over a cute nerdy boy in a tweed jacket. Just sayin’. ;)</p>
<p>This is very amusing. Awesome job.</p>
<p>bumping for current applicants :D</p>
