Guess the Medians Contest 2017- WAITING FOR OHIO Forum

[Wrong Marx]

So what if there is a tie?

So what if there is a tie?

in the unlikely event of a tie

the winner is whoever guesses the most schools correctly

a second tie breaker would be based on the rankings of the schools guessed correctly (add up the ranks, lowest number wins)

That was a solid opportunity for a lame tie joke.

[Yea All Right]

[cannibal ox]

Are entries locked at 11:59pm on August 10th, or 12:01am on August 10th? I wanna edit but not get DQ'd.

[ilikebaseball]

How do you guys figure that some medians will drop 2, even 3 points? Just wondering. Some schools you guys have drop more than others

If you look hard enough, you can find a thread on this site that shows the difference in % of applications to schools this past cycle relative to the prior year. Apps to most schools were down, even in the T14. Berkeley was down around 15%; BU was down like 22% I think. A select number of schools (H, Duke and Cornell come to mind) saw a slight increase in apps. Based on that data, you can make an educated guess as to which schools will maintain their medians and which schools will have a hard time doing so.

Yay another C 166er finally!

[Lavitz]

Yay another C 166er finally!

I put no effort into my submission this year, but if there's one thing I'm confident about, it's that Cornell will not drop to 166 in the first cycle it introduced ED.

[Moneytrees]

Cornell also saw an increase in apps. I doubt Cornell (and Georgetown for that matter) fall to a 166. That would be pretty shocking.

[xylocarp]

edited my submission last minute to reflect that I heed the wisdom of Lavitz

Yeah, it's wishful thinking more than anything.
