<p>You guys are wrong. I got accepted to SCS.</p>

42

<p>Proof, or it didn’t happen.</p>

43

<p>^uh…so how am I suppose to prove it? If you find my posts, I didn’t get my decision on Friday. Do you want a screen shot of my decision or what?</p>

44

<p>ok well most of them were waitlisted or rejects…</p>

45

<p>okay, one person out of a thousand. now the CMU adcom can say “we didn’t lie”.</p>

46

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, that would constitute proof. Not 100% proof, mind you, since these things are easily photoshopped, but it would make your story a little bit more likely.</p>

47

<p>i think stupidkid is right.</p>

48

<p>at least now we can give warning to kids next year…</p>

<p>Here’s a post from Friday
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060057810-post10.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060057810-post10.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Good enough?</p>

50

<p>Nice stats. No wonder you got in.</p>

51

<p>Fine… it doesn’t change the fact that you’re the only one out of about thirty or so people on this board to get accepted on the second wave.</p>

<p>Now, I know that this board isn’t exactly representative of everyone who applied, but the statistics are compelling.</p>

52

<p>i agree with fatfree… and stupidkid… have you seen your stats?? they would be crazy not to accept you</p>

53

<p>Thing is, it only takes one counter-example to disprove a theory.</p>

54

<p>yeah…look at the schools stupidkid already got into…</p>

55

<p>but its still mostly true…</p>

56

<p>What is that old saying?</p>

<p>An exception to the rule is only that, an exception. Nothing more.</p>

<p>That is not it exactly, but there is a proverb that goes along those lines. (and I believe it fits this case)</p>
