How Good Are You at Guessing?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is for a student who has already received decisions to the universities. We're trying to test how well this board can evaluate. After a good "sample size" has guessed, I'll post results (I'm not doing anything statistically sound, it's just a general estimate). If you want, evalute how sure your guess is on a 1-10 scale (IE. Accepted to Chicago - 10 (very sure))</p>

During his sophomore year he self-studied our school's precalculus course and got As on both semester finals, so skipped the class and moved onto Calc BC junior year. Senior year did a school-sponsored independent study class of number theory, of which he made a short summary/abstract.</p>

<p>Was picked in a small group of students who gave design ideas to a near-by architectural firm to develop a plot of land. Some ideas were used.
Septupled his money in the stock market within few weeks after he became 18. Don't know if this mattered, but he had it in additional information.</p>

<p>Pretty great essays, had even better recommendations.</p>

<p>Lets give it a go</p>

<p>Wash U in St. Louis 10
Harvard 7
Yale 8
Princeton 7
Dartmouth 7
Stanford 9</p>

3

<p>Bump? I thought more people would want to see a thread with results.</p>

4

<p>University of Chicago - 10
Wash U in St. Louis - 10 (but they might have waitlisted you in typical WashU fashion)
Harvard - 5
Yale - 6
Princeton - 6
Dartmouth - 8
Stanford- 8</p>

<p>I think you got into Chicago, Dartmouth, Stanford, and 1/3 of HYP. I think there is a decent chance you got Waitlisted by WashU because that is how they roll (i.e. not accepting people who they think will go elsewhere. IF you did get in w/o WL there is a good shot you got a half/ full scholarship).

<p>You are from IMSA or northrigde, am i correct?</p>

<p>IMSA with a gymnastics team? Haha, no. Maybe I shouldn’t have said “one of the best”, it’s “one of the better ones” (rated in top 10, I believe).</p>
