I would like to start off by saying that I took this from @ClassicalCollege, link below:
The way the game works is you all guess what colleges I got accepted/denied/waitlisted/deferred/rescinded/never applied. For each one you get right you get 1 point, get one wrong and you get nothing. There is a twist: I already know/posted (Most) what colleges I got my decisions from, but that still shouldn’t stop your gut thought of what college decisions you believe I deserve… its up to you if you cheat. NO EDITS!!
I will post the correct answers on 4/2/2015.

Disclaimer: I recreated this game to improve the confidence other low stat applicants or future applicants who believe they have no chance in admissions competing with the high achieving 4.0 kids on CC. You are not alone and the selective schools do not just look at a piece of paper with grades and test scores on it.
