Well, in a sense that’s what I did When it comes to Stanford, Caltech, etc, it’s a complete crapshot. I’ve seen people with ACT 26 admitted to them and people with ACT 36 rejected. Judging by the threads in the Caltech and MIT forums, this year is completely whack for ED and probably for RD too.

Stories of people rejected from MIT are accepted at Caltech and vice-versa, people getting rejected from Lehigh but admitted to Stanford, people shafted by Yale but getting in everywhere else… I don’t even know what to think anymore. My advice? Try luck because it’s all we have :D

Frankly, thank you for posting. I see way too many “Rise of the Automaton Student” people posting with 15 AP’s and going “Durr… can I get into Jerome Fisher at Penn?” Knowing that there are people like you and Hanajima that aren’t perfect is a great relief :)
