Chances and general advice

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Thanks @viphan!</p>

<p>A la StudiousMaximus, let’s make this a different type of chance thread: a predict thread.</p>

<p>"Here are the rules:

  1. For each school I list, you must choose “Accepted,” “Waitlisted,” or “Rejected.” Do not choose “Deferred” for early schools; predict what you think the final result will be.
  2. Once I receive all of my results, I’ll post them here. You will receive 1 point for a correct response and 0 points for an incorrect response. Whoever gets the most points wins.
  3. Only initial results matter. If I’m waitlisted and later accepted at a school, the outcome is still “Waitlisted.”
  4. Feel free to be as harsh or as generous as you’d like. If you think your best shot at winning involves predicting that I’ll be rejected from every school, go right ahead!</p>

<p>My hope is that this type of thread will lead to a lot more honest, specific predictions (instead of just “I think you have a great shot all around! Chance back!”) and will be more useful to future applicants (since these threads will naturally contain results as well)."</p>
