Find out your chance of addmission

<p>How much you believe you will get in will greatly determine if you will actually get in. But if you believe you can get in because of your stats (or if you think you wont get in because of your stats), that is if your faith is entirely dependent on your stats like you SAT scores, your chances will drop. Here is how to calculate your chances of admission.</p>

<p>Scale your faith of getting in or being rejected 1 to 5. 1 if you’re pretty sure you will be rejected and 5 if you’re absolutely certain if you’ll make it. Let’s call this number f.</p>

<p>Scale your stats 1 to 5…5 for 2200+ SATs or whatever you think is excellent, wonderful EC’s, teacher and counselor recs, GPA 4.0 and stuff like that. 1 if you think your stats pretty much suck. Let this number be s.</p>

<p>Use the following formula to see your chances of admission.
[f + (1-(s÷f))]÷6 × 100</p>

<p>If you get a negative number (which is rare) your chance is probably zero</p>

<p>A person with 5 stat and 5 faith will get about 83.33% chance while a person with 1 stats and 5 faith will get 96.7 %. One of the factor behind this may be that the guy with high stats would be pretty confident that he would get in and therefore wouldn’t bother presenting a strong app while a guy with 1 stat and 5 faith, energized by his faith, would put time and effort into his app and impress the adcoms. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Gotta love the scientific method afficiandos that Yale is getting to apply these days!! Going to be a math major?</p>

<p>I’m a man of faith but this is utterly a feckless proposition. Absolutely ludicrous. </p>

<p>Maybe you’ll discuss your theories with your alumni interviewer, OK? I can guarantee you that if you do THAT, you’ll increase everyone else’s chances by a tiny bit regardless of their faith level. That’ll be a favor you CAN do for other applicants. LOL</p>

<p>very intereting, could you please give a sample?</p>

<p>Geez T26E4, I was so excited a second ago when I thought I was actually going to get into Yale, thanks to the new Abbisinya Method, but now you just totally slashed my hope:)</p>

<p>I do believe what Abbisinya said is true though, especially the very last part. If you are unsure about your own stats, you are much more likely to work harder on the essay portion and thus present a stronger app. And I think for “faith”, you can interpret it as the desire, the hope, how much you secretly wish you can get into Yale, etc. It does make sense.</p>

<p>Why is everyone so serious and pragmatic all the time. *sigh</p>

<p>I agree with T26E4 (kind of a ridiculous method). But nevertheless, a little encouraging.</p>

6

<p>so who made up this little formula?</p>

7

<p>I think this is just meant for fun, as a joke…</p>

8

<p>Abbisinya, are you habesha?</p>

<p>For those of you bashing the Abbisinya scientific method, you should definitively check out the SCEA, I mean the SECA, random decision generator from Stanford! Newly invented. Well, if you think this one is ludicrous, then I can’t imagine what you think of the other one. Mm, must be the epiphany of ludicrousness:)</p>

<p>Yawn… </p>

<p>The chance of admissions for you personally: its either 0 or 100 percent. Worrying about minute factors doesn’t help at this point.</p>

11

<p>My chance of admissions is 120%…</p>

<p>Hooray!</p>

12

<p>The weird thing about this is that it gave me the same percentage as mychances . net …</p>

13

<p>I’m sure it was meant as a light-hearted joke too. hehe. Don’t be so serious guys! :slight_smile:
@Abbisinya: what’s the story behind the formula?</p>

14

<p>Well it was done in poor humor, as the underlying presumption of the model proposes a negative correlation between stats (which should correlate positively with the faith variable) and admission… just no. I understand that it is a joke, but it’s just not funny at the moment.</p>

<p>A three dimensional surface for the function is as follows</p>

<p>I love how people are seriously upset by this. Y’all are too stressed.</p>

16

<p>If I can’t spell, does that mean its an automatic 0%?</p>

17

<p>Hence the lack of humoring. Trust me, I’m not usually this contentious and am generally a very amicable guy when it’s not college+finals season…</p>

<p>My post was actually not meant to be a joke. The formula is just a representation of a great determining factor in college addmission and in life as a whole. It’s all about what you think of something that matters. Among other things, your believes greatly affect your actions and hence their consequenses. The formula only has variables of what you think your stats are and your chances of getting in (not your actual strength of stats or chance.) so don’t expect a positive correlation b/n s and % of addmission. The other thing is a slight increase in f will increase your chances while an increase in s will decrease it because the more you rely on stats the more you will be careless on the rest of the app. But don’t be stressed about this whole thing it’s just one way of looking at it. The bottom line here is if you are expecting a rejection letter on dec 15 that is probably what you’re gonna get. Oh and Saugus I don’t think you calculated right your chances cannot excede 100% what ever values you put in as long as 1-5. T26E4 it took me a while to actually get what you posted haha.</p>

<p>One thing i hate (and migt agree with yale) is using numbers to determine who gets in</p>

<p>and are you from Ethiopia or Eritrea?</p>
