lets play a Chances game (all 8 ivys)

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>so as the title states, i applied to all 8 ivys, and i will be hearing back from all of them in like 3 days. in retrospect, it was kinda stupid, but at least it’ll be interesting seeing the results. i put basically equal time into each app. so…start guessing! p.s. i stole this idea from atrophicwhisper :)</p>

<p>Brown
Columbia
Cornell
Dartmouth
Harvard
Penn (Wharton)
Princeton
Yale</p>

<p>if it helps, i already got into UCLA, UCB, UCSD, USC, and NYU, waitlisted at MIT, and deferred Wharton (M&T program)</p>

<p>i’ll post the results in a few days :)</p>

2

<p>in at brown, cornell, dartmouth, penn?</p>

3

<p>Let us know the results when you get them, but this is a sick resume and you have a good shot everywhere.</p>

4

<p>solid chances everywhere, no doubt</p>

5

<p>^ yeah i am more intersted in seeing where you actually get in. U got a beastly resume.</p>

6

<p>I think you have one of the most Asian resumes ever, and I’m not trying to be racist. I’m Asian myself if that helps. Other than that comment… you have a really great application.</p>

7

<p>I thought you already got into Dartmouth. And when did you apply to Princeton and Yale?</p>

<p>I’ll say good chances at all. You’ll get into at least one of the HYP, should have applied to Stanford though with those stats.</p>

8

<p>I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you’ll be accepted at 7/8.</p>

9

<p>hahah its ok wonderboy, i’ve said the same thing about myself. i basically do everything your typical asian does.</p>

10

<p>bumppppp (sorry i’ll only do this once)</p>

11

<p>ill bump up</p>

12

<p>Solid resume. Sorta off topic, but I was curious (given that I’ve played the violin 12 years myself) as to what your favorite violin concerto is?</p>

13

<p>On probability, you’ll probably get 3/8.</p>

14

<p>The best, most solid, yet believable EC’s I’ve seen on this site in some time.</p>

<p>In at all but Harvard (reject) and Princeton (waitlisted)…though could very likely be in at all eight.</p>

15

<p>i like how you guys are setting me up for disappointment tomorrow… haha jk :)</p>

<p>im already prepared to get slaughtered, i’ll post up results as soon as i get them/bring myself to posting</p>

<p>lolcats: currently, i’d say my fav concerto is the sibelius. i’ve never played it because i’d ruin the piece, but there are a few good recordings of it out there</p>

16

<p>Your app is pretty similar to mine.</p>

<p>Brown - IN
Columbia - out
Cornell - IN
Dartmouth - IN
Harvard - out
Penn (Wharton) - out
Princeton - out
Yale - out</p>

<p>So in at Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth.</p>

17

<p>here’s my guess:</p>

<p>Brown - IN
Columbia - IN
Cornell - IN
Dartmouth - IN
Harvard - out
Penn (Wharton) - out
Princeton - IN
Yale - waitlist</p>

18

<p>hahaaaaa so i pretty much got owned</p>

<p>::::::::::::::RESULTS::::::::::::::::::
Brown - waitlisted
Columbia - waitlisted
Cornell - accepted
Dartmouth - accepted
Harvard - rejected
Penn (Wharton) - deferred -> rejected
Princeton - waitlisted
Yale - rejected</p>

<p>i forgot to mention i also sent in a music CD/DVD of a piano concerto soloist performance with an orchestra at a concert hall. and after i got deferred from wharton, i sent a letter of continued interest. ohh welllllll guess its dartmouth for me :)</p>

19

<p>nvm u…</p>

20
