I see what you’re saying, Legopan, and I know how competitive it is, but that doesn’t change the fact that our opinions mean nothing when it comes to the decision process. WIth good schools, really anything is possible. I had people with worse stats than him luck out, and people with amazing stats get rejected everywhere. We really shouldn’t affect where students apply, and they really shouldn’t need to know what we think. They should just apply where they want and see what happens.

Edit: I pretty much agree with Lunknot. It’s a little weird though because really, no good can come from something like this. I’m rooting for everyone too, but if we all say we think he’ll get in and he doesn’t, that would suck. Likewise, we might say he won’t, and he will get scared out of applying when he should apply. In the best case scenario, we end up being right, and the whole thing is inconsequential. Which is why these “rate my chances” posts suck :-P
