<p>well that might be the word in "the yard", but this isn't Harvard, and thus the yard does not exist.</p>
<p>Guys, I want to do a little statistics-type project here. We all know that CC is a ridiculous place with applicants and hopefuls that are well above the norm - but I don't think that we've ever gotten a good idea of by just how much. While we can look through old decisions threads, and break down the accepted/def(wait)/rejected numbers, these figures suffer from voluntary response bias. Anyone who has been on CC a lot this past year or so will certainly post if he or she is accepted, but it's not so clear that those deferred or rejected will come rushing to this college hysteria website to tell everyone. I'd like to do something that might mollify that voluntary response bias.</p>
<p>We need a list of applicants that gets put together well before decisions come out... with the condition that you need to at the very least report your decision. It's understandable if you don't want to fill out a whole report if you've gotten bad news, but for the sake of statistics, it'd be nice if we could get a list of 50-60 people who all report their decision. I'm not sure if this has been done before. If not, there's enough enthusiasm on this board that I think we can make an interesting push.</p>
<p>I'll start:

<p>isn't there already a list on the other thread?</p>
<p>Yes, but not everybody on that thread has said they will/is going to report the results.</p>

<p>does applying for financial aid make a difference? i know yale is need-blind, but is it not? or are we just including that in our stats for the heck of it?</p>
<p>First, we already have a list. Over sixty names.
Second, this just builds up undue anxiety.
Third, this thread will get so spammed by decision time, it will be virtually worthless as a Decisions result thread... </p>
<p>Why don't we wait, then start one then.. eh?</p>
<p>We have a list, but we don't know where everyone is. If anyone misses reporting it kind of screws things up - we don't want to start with that list.</p>
<p>mist: they know your parents' occupations. they ask for that info for a reason. if your parents both have professional degrees, they might figure that they don't have to shell out as much financial aid dough while they have endowment issues... but who knows. it's worth taking down as data if possible.</p>
<p>Ok miles, I agree that we should have a list... but I also concede that we should have a list separate from this thread.</p>
<p>Start a new thread!!! :)</p>
<p>I took the liberty of starting one, if anyone is interested.</p>
<p>bump since decisions are out tomorrow</p>
<p>I know someone that does the student tours - No one rubs the toe....it's just something they say to see how many highschool kids will run and stumble over each other to rub it.</p>
<p>He also said some people do **** on the toe after getting incredibly inebriated.</p>
<p>Guys, I'm an RD-er praying for your sanity lmao. After reading the Stanford SCEA thread, I died a little (ok, a lot) inside :p</p>
<p>Dying. Crying. You know, the usual. </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>What does SCEA stand for? I've seen it a lot, but I never knew what it means.</p>
<p>Single Choice Early Action. :)</p>
