<p>bump…</p>

<p>So here’s what it came down to:</p>

<p>Princeton (SCEA) - Deferred -> Rejected (CC said waitlist 5/9/2)
University of Michigan - Accepted
Georgia Tech - Accepted</p>

<p>Yale - Waitlisted (CC said reject 1/7/9)
UPenn Jerome Fisher M&T program (Wharton backup) - Rejected (CC said accepted 9/1/4)
Cornell - Accepted
UChicago - Accepted (CC said waitlisted 6/7/3)
Carnegie Mellon - Accepted
NYU - Accepted
Berkeley - Rejected
UCLA - Accepted
Harvard - Rejected (CC said rejected 1/2/13)
Columbia - Waitlisted (CC said accepted 8/4/5)
Dartmouth - Waitlisted (CC said accepted 9/4/3)
Caltech - Waitlisted (CC said rejected 5/4/7)
MIT - Rejected (CC said rejected 2/3/11)</p>

<p>Conclusions:
(1) College admissions process is a black box that appears random to an outside observer.
(2) CC in general sucks at predictions except when it comes to Harvard/MIT (where rejection is the best bet) and clear match/safety schools. </p>

<p>chance me at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1626482-chances-for-mit.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1626482-chances-for-mit.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;.
I agree with much of your conclusions. I think colleges don’t care about scores beyond the requirements especially when it is for asians/Indians (whom they discriminate against). It really comes down to ec’s and essays after a certain point. </p>
