If you think about it, it’s easy to Chance some students, one way or the other. It’s the broad middle 50 percent where it’s dicey for amateurs like us, operating with incomplete information, have problems. I think you’re in the “more likely than not” but wouldn’t want to put a number on it beyond that.

The longer you’ve watched admissions, the more things you see that surprise you and the more you’re cautious about what you don’t know that you don’t know.

It’s also true that it’s easier to get a feel for someone who has made 30 posts and you’ve somewhat “gotten to know”…yeah, it’s an illusion…as opposed to looking at a profile cold. On the plus side, coming in cold you don’t have any positive or negative impressions coloring the views.
