<p>MattBowes – sometimes stats debates can get obnoxious, but I think this one hasn’t gotten out of hand. And Ben Jones from MIT has a wise insight – even those who vote on the decisions at the end can’t really judge chances until the whole package is complete. So when I answer these, I try to give general advice useful to everyone when crafting an application. </p>
<p>GuitarManARS – no. That’s the whole point of having lots of achievements (like Intel, etc.) – they wash out one screwup here and there. Don’t tell anyone, but my SATI Math wasn’t perfect, and look! I’m here! :)</p>
