<p>If you wondering why I’m not posting this in the “chance me” forum, its because I think I’ll get better responses here. Anyways thanks for reading this and give me your best guess.</p>

<p>College Decisions (so far)[ul]
[<em>] Duke (Pratt/Engineering) - Likely Letter

[</em>] Princeton - pending (top choice)
[<em>] Yale - pending
[</em>] MIT - pending

<p>I’m hoping the Duke LL bodes well for more liberal arts colleges like Princeton for example. Thanks!</p>
<p>Probably. Harvard accepted some “unhooked applicants” with around a 2000-2100 SAT this year during EA. Admissions are weird.</p>
<p>In short, absolutely not.</p>
<p>Why would anyone think they could get better responses here?</p>
<p>Don’t you need to have 2500 SAT to get into Harvard?</p>
<p>^ If you’re a URM or a legacy. If not you need at least a 2800</p>
<p>was hoping to get serious responses -.-</p>
<p>Then go to the “chance me” forum!</p>
<p>can someone please give me a straight answer… I don’t feel like typing this all up and reposting it in the chance me forum (copy+paste won’t work with bullet points, etc…)</p>
<p>I think you have a pretty good chance…especially since you made a software for baseball statistics…how did you do it?</p>
<p>Ughh~ I’m going to give you the obvious answer. Of course. If I did ALL those things you are doing, I wouldn’t come on here and post a question when I, myself, already knew the answer to.</p>
<p>The baseball statistics essentially computes batting averages, on base percentages, etc…, and then computes player rankings. The algorithms I used are akin to chess ranking ones. If you have seen the movie money ball, you may know what I’m talking about (its similar to that system).</p>
<p>um yeah agree with el, go to the chance me forums…</p>
<p>This thread is backfiring</p>
<p>Nice stats overall. I’m just wondering what your technology internship consisted of, and whether you talked about sports in your app. </p>
<p>Not much point repeating the whole “its a crapshoot” but there’s not much else I can say. 
Did you apply to any safety schools?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah - but I didn’t bother listing those because I basically already got into Duke, which I would go to over any of my safety schools (RPI, BU, etc.)</p>
<p>At my internship I developed chemical adhesives and such. I also did some just ‘handyman’ work, like installing ventilation and doing inventory checks.</p>
<p>You gotta learn when to let go…</p>
