Hi all so I figured I’d make an actual results thread, because I always thought those were the most informative and helpful posts on here. I applied to 13 schools, many of them reaches, so I hope this gives a wide range of people an idea about what they can expect. I’m aware there’s a thread for this, but I wanted to post it in the What are My Chances, since that’s where people tend to go to find info like this.
Here are some stats:
