Prove CCers Right/Wrong/Close

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Right now, this is only for people who applied RA or under an EA or ED program.</p>

<p>Anyway, post the school(s) you applied to and your decision. Also post the prediction that you got on a chances board if you used the chances boards. Only post one prediction, so if you got 10 yes and 8 no and 9 maybe, post yes.</p>

<p>Here's the Format</p>

<p>College A: Decision/Prediction
College B: Decision/Prediction
College C: Decision/Prediction</p>

<p>I'll prob resurrect this in April.</p>

<p>This may be good for jr/soph/fr that want to know how accurate chances are.</p>

2

<p>Princeton ED: Deferred/ Rejected</p>

3

<p>Washington University in St. Louis ED2: Accepted/Accepted</p>

4

<p>UChicago (EA): Accepted/Rejected
UPenn (ED): Accepted/Rejected</p>

5

<p>You can ED and EA? What the freak?</p>

6

<p>As long as you promise to matriculate at your ED you can apply to non-SC EA schools.</p>

7

<p>Yep. As long as it's not SCEA.
ED=binding
EA=non-binding</p>

8

<p>MIT (EA): Deferred/Deferred</p>

9

<p>Arizona: accepted/accepted
Illinois: accepted/accepted</p>

10

<p>whoa - looks like for the most part, CCers have come close.</p>

11

<p>I thought all EA was SCEA; I guess I was wrong.</p>

12

<p>Penn: accepted/accepted</p>

13

<p>Stanford SCEA: Deferred / Rejected</p>

<p>a year back i posted my stats and asked for CCer's opinions on my chances. I applied to 18 schools (yeah its a lot, but im international and i figured the more darts u throw the greater the probability of hitting the target).. not even one CCer predicted that i would get into even more than 3 of them. the 3 i was predicted to get into were my 3 safeties. </p>

<p>amongst the things i heard
georgetown- "no way"
WashU- "probably not...if yes only because of legacy" (i later found out a brother doesnt count as legacy)
Duke- "forget it"
etc etc</p>

<p>i eventually got into Georgetown, WashU and Duke in addition to 5 other schools.. all with full rides.
im not writing this to boast. im just writing to let u guys know that predictions on CC are wildly inaccurate so dont get down if people "predict" u wont get in etc etc.. </p>

<p>im currently at duke and loving it:P
if anyone has questions about duke etc shoot me a pm..id be happy to answer whatever i can..</p>

<p>I'm from Canada and the same thing happened to me (as you can see above). On top of that, I'm sure I would have gotten into at least one of the schools at which I withdrew my apps (due to Penn ED). Nobody here gave me much of a chance either.</p>

<p>I find that it's a lot iffier with int'l candidates--lots of American posters here can't wrap their heads around a B+/A- average actually being very competitive. Not every country just gives away As.</p>

<p>Haha, one poster even called my freshman and soph GPA "pathetic" and said that I can't hide it with claims of tougher grading policies.</p>

16

<p>Jpps1, are you the guy who had like a C+ average in 8th grade that you posted? PS I don't know why you posted your 8th grade GPA if that was you.</p>

17

<p>I had a C+ average, but it was 9th grade.</p>

18

<p>Yeah that was you. I was the one who said it was pathetic. Hahaha. Good luck at Penn. I would suggest you aim for higher than a C+ average.</p>

19

<p>jpp1, congrats, What was your rank?</p>

20

<p>9 of 76 in an honours program. Top 6% in school (unweighted).</p>

<p>Thanks for the kind words, andrew.</p>
