<p>ok so who starts predicting?</p>

32

<p>we'll give freakish the honors</p>

33

<p>ooooh, should I?
lol, I was about to watch Hope and Faith haha</p>

34

<p>no u start.. hurry..</p>

35

<p>I truthfully dont think anyone will be outright rejected. I know there probably will be, but I' cant choose that accurately at all. I'm sure, Im wrong, but I thought about these,a lot of it is assessment combined with my intuition.</p>

<p>1.a
2.d
3.a
4.a
5.a
6.a
7.a
8.d
9.d
10.a
11.a
12.a
13.um-a. I don't want to kill her, lol.
14.a
15.a</p>

36

<p>what is that supposed to mean freakish.. i'd rather you be honest than just "not wanting to kill me"..</p>

<p>you really think i'll be a?</p>

<p>and can you tell us how you came to these conclusions.. what you based your judgements on etc..</p>

37

<p>lol---------this is a predictions post....Why don't we analyze after we al lput our lists. one, i put the thing about I don't want to kill her because you're so passioned, but I was at first thinking oh, im not sure, but then the IB program is a plus, and i assume those numbers mean you did really good, and u said u had a passion in those ifelds, so i gave you an A. At first, I was thinking cusp, thats why I put it.</p>

38

<p>yeh..how did u choose the Ds?</p>

<p>o 4get it..i just read ur post freakish</p>

39

<p>Honestly, I think most people on this list have a higher-than-average chance. At the very least, I don't think the majority of people applying have scores this high...(at least I hope not...)</p>

40

<p>start your predictions guys...and then we can talk about them more in depth.</p>
