unborn harness
do USAMO quals have a good chance here?

meager mango
Yale rlly values fit from what I’ve seen
More than any other school
They’re very very deliberate w admissions
compact wren
So they’re picky
unborn harness
my yale interviewer seemed unimpressed w me
meager mango
So they’re picky
They’re willing to pass on cracked cracked kids with no regret if they don’t think they’re a good fit
unborn harness

tranquil pagoda
i had a better version (imo) but my counselor made me scrap it
balmy solstice
when people freak out about wording of essays it’s dumb
balmy solstice
like bro the structure of one sentence won’t be the difference
tranquil pagoda
the issue was mine was just an information dump
balmy solstice
The content is probably more important
tranquil pagoda
like genuinely how do u say “im passionate about something” without saying it
balmy solstice
yeah good point
most of my essays were structured weirdly tho
like weird openers
because you’re right
tranquil pagoda
that’s good tho
balmy solstice
it’s hard to just say ‘I’m passionate about this’
balmy solstice
that’s good tho

for econ i would've taken a thinking test or smth

balmy solstice
the TSA
slender marten
like genuinely how do u say “im passionate about something” without saying it
by talking about it instead of around it
balmy solstice
and then you interview
but trust me I did the TSA it’s pretty hard
the cut off points are pretty rough
slender marten
I can nerd out on any number of topics, pretty easy to assume that I'm passionate about baseball, coffee, computer hardware etc.
tranquil pagoda
by talking about it instead of around it
yes bur like i kept on just dumping info and related it to my family and ECs
slender marten
"I like coffee"
tranquil pagoda
that was basically the gist of my IV one for Stanford

a small liberal arts school in vt
Ahhhhhhh
timber plaza
so i’m not sure why middlebury was preferable
dusky bough
but also i feel like if you prefer LACs its not that crazy to choose midd over harvard
maybe he preferred a smaller environment not in a city
winter quail
but it's harvard
timber plaza
he has zero social skills
dusky bough
i doubt his social skills would have shone at harvard lol
winter quail
damn he could've been a quant if he went to harvard
dusky bough
why are we talking about midd like its some shitty school lol
timber plaza
why are we talking about midd like its some shitty school lol
it’s not it’s just a stupid decision
boston cannot be that bad

Yeah I'm mentally committed to a target but still optimistic for RD as I had a good early round
Glad I have somewhere great to go even if I got 0 for 18 on RD
0 for 17

I mean statistically we have to get in at least one bc if we add up all the acceptance rates it’s over 100

no, realistically if you apply to every single ivy league, you have a 25% chance of getting into 1+
but also like acceptance rates are troll and dont reflect an individual applicant

translation, you might be lower
bro doesn't know what independent draws are
quiet fiber
no, realistically if you apply to every single ivy league, you have a 25% chance...
no but like if you add 5% like 8 times you have a 40% chance
hear me out
slender marten
what are the chances of 1 success from 8 draws at 5%? we can sim this pretty quickly
and do the analytical solution as well
balmy solstice
bro doesn't know what independent draws are
if I cumulative distribute it using an average of the acceptance rates it’s like a 55% chance of getting into at least one
of like 15
schools
agile finch
translation, you might be lower
precisely
quiet fiber
well i feel like there's one factor we aren't taking into account
you either get in or you don't
quiet fiber
so it's really 50% chance
compact wren
it was a joke
agile finch
no but like if you add 5% like 8 times you have a 40% chance
you dont add it
you multiply it
balmy solstice
so it's really 50% chance
sounds about right
merry pawn
no, realistically if you apply to every single ivy league, you have a 25% chance...
yes and if you apply to 10 schools each with a 10% acceptance rate you'll 100% get in one!
agile finch

no

Or apply to 11 schools with a 10% acceptance rate and you'll get in at leat one with a scholarship

now thats what im talking ABOUT
🔥
quiet fiber
you multiply it
omg so i have a 3.9 & 10^-11 chance
balmy solstice
omg so i have a 3.9 & 10^-11 chance
no, bro just distribute it
slender marten
nah, it's 6.02*10^-23
agile finch
nah, it's 6.02*10^-23
real
quiet fiber
Or apply to 11 schools with a 10% acceptance rate and you'll get in at leat one ...
on god!
agile finch
okay wait i mashed the numbers wrong
balmy solstice
tf
agile finch
my assumption (this is just for fun, do not take this seriously) is that you can find the chance of getting rejected from every college, and then you can flip that to find the chance of NOT getting rejected from every college = you can get into 1+
meager mango
Um what
agile finch
so if you apply to 8 schools with a 96% rejection rate, the chance that you are rejected from every school is 72%. therefore the chance of NOT getting rejected from every school is 28%.
it's not that these are dependent events btw
again this is just for fun and dont take this seriously lmao could be wrong
also acceptance rates dont reflect an individual applicant
i love funny numbers
slender marten
The simulated probability of 1 or more success out of 20 draws with a 5% chance of success is: 64.28%
agile finch
The simulated probability of 1 or more success out of 20 draws with a 5% chance ...
very cool that makes sense
slender marten
# Define the simulation parameters
n = 20 # number of draws
p = 0.05 # probability of success
num_trials = 500000 # number of trials to simulate
# Counter to track the number of trials with exactly 1 success
count_at_least_1_success = 0
# Run the Monte Carlo simulation
for _ in range(num_trials):
# Simulate 20 draws (each being a success with probability p)
draws = [1 if random.random() < p else 0 for _ in range(n)]
# Count the number of successes (1s) in the draws
if sum(draws) >= 1:
count_at_least_1_success += 1
# Calculate the probability
probability_simulated = count_at_least_1_success / num_trials
# Print the result
print(f"The simulated probability of at least 1 success out of 20 draws with a 5% chance of success is: {probability_simulated:.4f}")```Independent events 😭😭😭
So they don't really add up 😭😭😭
slender marten
10 schools at 10%, at least one is also ~65%
