I got deferred early action. meow! I reserve both the right to bet on this market before 3/14, as well as to resolve it N/A. A wait-list will extend this market until resolution of said status.

EDIT: I got waitlisted today. If any future applicants are reading this in the future, please please please write good essays, and do well in school, regardless of all other accomplishments.

Extending market deadline to May 31 (which is apparently an upper bound for when the waitlist is decided a la reddit).

bought Ṁ1 YES

@Incompleteusern are you having too much fun watching the betting

@jatloe are you having too much fun donating money

@E142 no im having a lot of fun getting free mana

I don't understand why this is so high. Or why there is 14k mana invested in a 100 mana market. Jatloe, I guess.

bought Ṁ40 YES

@DylanRichardson I have my reasons.

@DylanRichardson because people like trading in this market

opened a Ṁ250 NO at 20% order

@jatloe r u insane

bought Ṁ5 YES

@vi if thats what makes you bet more 20% NO then yes :3

bought Ṁ90 NO

@jatloe I am so confused. Are you an MIT AO or something? Are you trying to build up this guy's hopes and dreams to inevitably be crushed? Do you feel like losing mana?

Tempted to make a "will I get off the JHU waitlist" market inspired by this but the odds are so close to zero that it would be useless lol

@ICanShowYouPeru good luck!!

@Incompleteusern Thank you!

Every time I see this market, I bet some YES.

@jatloe free mana on no

What stats do you have?

@2ndPairofBoots 1550 SAT 36 ACT

Those with opinions on P(I get accepted to MIT | waitlist is nontrivial) may be interested in https://manifold.markets/Incompleteusern/will-mit-accept-anyone-from-their-2, as I think one can compute this quantity by dividing the two relevant probabilities.

Someone should bet no on this market. We should be keeping in mind the MIT waitlist acceptance rate is 2% and sometimes they just accept no one. This market is clearly too high.

@Incompleteusern however, rooimo

sold Ṁ85 NO

I'm trying to gradually take out all of my stock in this market

bought Ṁ10 YES

rooimo

sold Ṁ101 NO
bought Ṁ100 NO

Waitlisted ...

@Incompleteusern I assume you resolve yes if you (on the off chance) get off the waitlist?

EDIT: nvm I just read the description
