Colleges I am waitlisted to do not count towards resolution unless I am later taken off the wait-list and accepted. Resolves as expected.
For context: I applied to the following schools as a Computer Science major in the Arts and Sciences College (i.e. when given the choice between a BS and a BA I always chose a BA)
MIT
Lehigh University
Duke University
Dartmouth College
Johns Hopkins University
Tufts University
Stevens Institute of Technology
Boston College
Lawrence University
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Rose-Hulmann Institute of Technology
Northeastern University
Cal Poly: San Luis Obispo
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
University of San Diego
UC Berkley
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC San Diego
UCSB

3.00@JoshuaB I didn't realize when I made this market that I wouldn't wanna share which colleges I got into so live betting was a lot less spicy than it could've been!
Soooo... UC Merced sent me an email saying that I’ve been admitted... I didn’t apply, I believe I got admitted since I was rejected by all the UCs I did apply to (I’ve heard this is a thing the UC system does). Anyways, I have no idea whether or not to count this towards the count... My instinct is no, since it wasn’t on the list, but I can also see the argument of “you were admitted! that’s being accepted! it should count!"
So, idk, opinions would be welcome!
@JoshuaB Okay, UC Merced has sent me an email saying that I've been accepted rather than simply admitted so I'm gonna count UC Merced towards the total (unless one of y'all compellingly convinces me to change my mind)
