<p>Hey everyone. I've noticed that the current threads are flooded with chat, so I decided to make a thread dedicated solely to posting the statistics of applicants who have heard back.</p>
<p>As you may have heard, UCSD initiated its phoning campaign earlier today. Although not many have received their answers as of yet, I urge everyone who has gotten a call thus far to post his/her statistics in order to give CCers a better understanding of their chances.</p>
<p>Please note: This thread is DECISIONS-ONLY. Please do not chat on here- there are two other threads running at this time in which you may discuss admissions.</p>
<p>That said, the recommended format for posting statistics is typed in below.</p>
<p><strong>Important: Please follow these instructions</strong></p>
<p>Directions:
-Copy and paste the format onto your post.-
-Choose one of the decisions (accepted, waitlisted, rejected) and delete the rest.-
-Fill in your stats.-
-In order to avoid confusion, delete all unnecessary spaces, such as the spaces before "color," "size," "/b," and "*."-</p>
<p>that format confuses me…
