RD Pledge To Report Your Decision List

<p>Concept [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/629827-yale-2013-rd-pledge-report-your-decision-list.html%5Dborrowed%5B/url"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/629827-yale-2013-rd-pledge-report-your-decision-list.html]borrowed[/url&lt;/a&gt;] (with permission ;))from the Yale forum.</p>

<p>As you've probably seen, a list of everyone's decisions is very useful for statistical analysis. The problem with reported decisions threads is that they suffer from response bias, although it's impossible to say how much. CC'ers tend to be top students to begin with, and people admitted may be more likely to post their results, as well as people who may have expected an acceptance. </p>

<p>To take away some of this bias, as well as to make it easier to find the relevant information without digging through long write-ups and chances threads, please fill in the information below.</p>

<p>If you don't feel comfortable posting this information you can send it to me to be included without your name for statistical analysis -- or perhaps someone else can volunteer to do this since I'm somewhat new around here and it's completely understandable if you don't want to trust me.</p>

GPA (out of 4.0): 3.97
Deferred EA (Y/N): N</p>

<p>you haven't precised. Not deferred= accepted or rejected?</p>

<p>BTW, in MIT admissions numbers give you nothing. Standard deviation is as great as number of MIT's rejects ;)</p>

<p>Not deferred = didn't apply EA, since there's already a thread for the EA decisions.</p>

<p>I figured the numbers could at least give an indication of how much the numbers give you -- for instance. For instance, if all "high enough" scores are equal, where is "high enough"? If a 2300 is the same as a 2400, is a 2100? 2200?</p>

<p>Plus, it might also give some insight into the perennial debate over whether the higher % admitted for girls is affirmative action or only because they're self-selecting.</p>

<p>You should definitely add "Interview (Y/N)" to the list.</p>

<p>Good point. I can't edit the original post, but, in the future, can everyone add in whether you interviewed? Or add it if you've already posted.</p>

<p>EDIT: I haven't had an interview (or been contacted for one), but I hope to have one some time</p>

<p>i think students are responsible for setting up the interviews. u might want to try setting one up right now.</p>

<p>You should also have AP/IB scores, not just AP.</p>

<p>I intentionally kept it minimal to make it easy to respond and because tests that few people take won't provide much information, but yes, IB scores are useful too.</p>
