<p>Guys, I want to do a little statistics-type project here. We all know that CC is a ridiculous place with applicants and hopefuls that are well above the norm - but I don’t think that we’ve ever gotten a good idea of by just how much. While we can look through old decisions threads, and break down the accepted/def(wait)/rejected numbers, these figures suffer from voluntary response bias. Anyone who has been on CC a lot this past year or so will certainly post if he or she is accepted, but it’s not so clear that those deferred or rejected will come rushing to this college hysteria website to tell everyone. I’d like to do something that might mollify that voluntary response bias.</p>
<p>We need a list of applicants that gets put together well before decisions come out… with the condition that you need to at the very least report your decision. It’s understandable if you don’t want to fill out a whole report if you’ve gotten bad news, but for the sake of statistics, it’d be nice if we could get a list of 50-60 people who all report their decision. I’m not sure if this has been done before. If not, there’s enough enthusiasm on this board that I think we can make an interesting push.</p>
<p>I’ll start:
