<p>Let n = number of Wharton seats available = %
Let -x = applicants with better stats than you = -1
Let y = you = 1</p>

<p>then your chances of getting in can be expressed as:
n = x + y</p>

<p>i.e., if Wharton had 1 open seat and and you and another candidate who has superior stats applied, then you chances of getting admitted is 0%</p>

<p>Same scenario as above but only n=2. Then you will have 100% chance of getting in.</p>

<p>What I am saying is that your chances of getting admitted will decrease whenever anyone applies with better stats (all else equal). It doesn't really matter what school they come from.</p>

<p>View all post is great isn't it?</p>

<p>Aztennisplay1 post this identical thread in all of the schools in his OP and he got plenty of opinions.</p>

<p>What he and all the others who post chance threads here do not realize is that our opinions means nothing. It may be comforting to hear someone say you'll get in, but admission to the top schools is so unpredictable. The best advice is to get the best scores you can, write an awesome essay, and hope you are lucky.</p>

<p>The OP is persistent, but I think his energy would be better spent revising his drafts or studying. As far as your question goes, it is rather silly and the answer is obvious. </p>

<p>All else equal, your chances will decrease each time someone puts in an application at the same school with better stats. I have to seriously question your analytical abilities if you could not figure this out on your own.</p>
