@AlexCao yea this is my feeling (ish) also. they do have a compelling case though being Hispanic so my guess is higher than 4%.
@0xd34db33f given that decisions are out, you should close and resolve the market as soon as possible.
@BrianCaulfield Yes. Dec. 14, 7 PM ET is the decision release date. Just giving myself some wiggle room to process before resolving the market.
@0xd34db33f I wrote that I was going for an CS/EE dual major in the why major essay, don’t know if that matters though. I put EE as my second choice major.
@Broseph Major doesn’t matter as much as school. SEAS has a slightly higher admit rate than the College.
@JuniKim I keep the market running until I get a decision. Also, I have officially applied Early Decision.
@0xd34db33f Got a good story about oppression for the essays? Honestly even if no, I think you’ve got this
