<p>I wouldn’t say disregard the percentages but the process is pretty arbitrary. I remember taking a behavioural econ class that had an example where admissions rates are apparently significantly higher if the adcom reads your application on a sunny day than on a rainy/cloudy one… lol.</p>
<p>thanks guys… and thanks for the HUGE compliment disgrasius (: does anyone know if it helps at all to apply EA to princeton? I know applying to penn ED is a much bigger advantage, but is there any sacrifice to my chance at princeton? besides… honestly id love to go to either penn or princeton – both schools are INCREDIBLE – i just don’t want to make a stupid mistake in the application process.</p>
