<p>Okay so I see that a lot of ppl are really worried about admissions, esp. so close to notification dates. I would like to instigate an experiment where ppl from CC test their skills at guessing what types of ppl are likely to be accepted to specific schools. This experiment can only benefit next year’s applicants of course because it is THEY who will come to CC next year to gather insights.</p>
<p>If you would like to take part in the experiment, give us your </p>
<li>gender</li>
<li>race</li>
<li>state</li>
<li>GPA</li>
<li>ranking (if applicable)</li>
<li>SAT I and SAT II scores</li>
<li>ECs in extensive detail</li>
<li>awards (local and national)</li>
<li>and of course the schools you applied to!</li>
</ol>
<p>When you respond,</p>
<li>write the person’s sn</li>
<li>write their list of colleges in numerical order</li>
<li>write Y is you think they will get in, and N if you think otherwise
i.e. (1. Harvard - Y
<li>Yale - N</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p>In one month when acceptances come rolling in, please come back and tell our audience if they were right!</p>
<ol>
<li>Male</li>
<li>White</li>
<li>Nevada</li>
<li>3.6 uw, 4.2 w</li>
<li>90/400 (based of unweighted gpa's so its kind of bs imo)</li>
<li>1820, US hist 620, Math II 590, ACT 30</li>
<li>Football (team captain), Track, Special Olympics Volunteer Coach, Volunteer Snowboard Instructor, Other small volunteer stuff like making meals at my church, helping with special events...</li>
<li>Academic letter, Athletic letter, National Honor Society, Member of AAAA Nevada State Champion Football Team, Sierra League Champions (football)...ehhh, really spacing out but those are the bigger ones</li>
<li>USC, Pepperdine, Boston College, USD (accepted w/Presidential Scholarship), Gonzaga (accepted w/Regents scholarship), Colorado State (accepted with WUE scholarship), UNR (accepted w/millennium and silver scholarship)</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh I see! That's a good idea! How do I edit that.... Also, please don't tell us if you've already been accepted even if you're very very proud of yourself, which you should be! The point of the experiment is to see how well others can guess!</p>
