<p>Sorry MB4, but I think that TomTheCat is hosting this thread, and I will be hosting the Master List of 2009 Acceptances…</p>

3

<p>His thread is tooooooo complicated–got to make it easier!</p>

4

<p>I think this one is much easier to read. No offence to Tom</p>

5

<p>He is thinking like a current high schooler, but most kids applying are in 8th grade. I think his ideas are great (and this is just another version of his concept), but I am trying to offer a simpler means of collecting information that is useful for people like us going for March 2010.</p>

6

<p>Plus it has a lot of clutter. Which would make it harder to find where the actual stats start.
15. 14. 13. 12. 11. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.</p>

7

<p>Haha… I love your candidate. Nationally ranked keeper (muggle-born)</p>

<p>What I like about your thread is that it includes EC’s which are some of the most important aspects in a candidate…</p>

8

<p>This is somewhat easier, but I miss all the big fonts/ color/ etc.</p>

<p>I enjoyed your example :)</p>

9

<p>I think most people will use Tom’s thread since he did have dibs on the stats and admission thread or whatever, but this thread is a good idea because it is simpler and takes ecs into consideration.</p>

10

<p>I like toms better…no one cares about ECs to much. People will exagerate…if you feel the need then put it in toms. You have to realize people have been calling dibs on this for months and you come in here with 4 posts lol. If people want tom to change his a little then ask.</p>

11

<p>Not trying to take over, but I thought about it this morning. I read through Tom’s stuff and all the information that followed. I also looked at what the people from last year said. Not to be mean, but this is just CC. It is a community, but people tend to come and go. You may not care about ECs, but I do believe others have indicated that they do.</p>

<p>My thread was just a suggestion. Did not mean to offend.</p>

<p>Guys it doesn’t matter how many. Just post on the one or even both. Some find this one simpler</p>
