My son was thinking 11:12
Is it now?
Not yet.
So everyone who said 11:12, 11:13 were all wrong?
I still got 11:22
It’s like a poll betting.
Good luck everyone! Did not apply here, but it’s always been a college I’ve been interested in.
The equation was open to interpretation with the rounding and stuff. It was a bit ambiguous.
My heart is going to drop the moment I see 30 people replying to this thread (probably to let everyone else know decisions are out)

here we have a similar situation
11.22 vs 0.22 of an hour. Open to interpretation
You were 100% right!
too bad we didn’t collect money.
Actually someone originally posted 11:22
I just found a calculator from Geological whoever.

Amazing! Congrats
Wow! Congrats!
What was the acceptance rate? I heard sub 2% this year.
My son is on the beach and uninterested in spoiling his good time by checking to see if he got in. I get it, but I’d sure love to know!!
