<p>I remember seeing this sort of thread a few years back, and I always thought that it was a strong way to evaluate the accuracy of "Chances" on this forum. I'll have all of the decisions within the next couple days, so in about a week from now I will post the "answers," and you can see how accurate you were.

<p>Also a 4.2 out of 4.0 is an unorthodox grading system. I am surprised any administration would do that.</p>
<p>Oops, forgot to add that I also applied to Dartmouth.
I will post answers in just a couple days.</p>
<p>In that case…</p>
<p>Dartmouth:accepted
(In addition to all the others I had)</p>
<p>Don’t leave us in suspense, how did you do (since Yale/Princeton came out today)</p>
<p>Haha, the only school I’m still waiting on is Gtown (since that comes in the mail). When that arrives, I’ll post all of the “answers.”</p>
