Stats sticky?

[LabbyRatty]

I've been cruising this forum for about a year now and have noticed that the majority of posts are regarding stats, espcecially during this time of year. Is it possible to make some sort of sticky post at the top with a list of schools and people who were accepted to those schools can list their stats? Anyone have an idea to help reduce the number of "review my stats" posts?

Does it matter what people's stats are?

You see while the population of the forum is increasing, I think people here don't represent the entire population of applicants

yah only the 3.8 and higher people "show off". the rest keep quiet.

The easiest way to do it would be with the acceptances thread, but even then it's tedious to maintain, and lots of duplication given that currently everyone lists all schools they were accepted to, not just the 1 they plan on attending. I don't really think it's very feasible.

yeh i was hoping there be thread too for people to list this stats but I guess looking it this way it isn't very feasible and practical 😛 darn it.

I just don't see the value of people posting their stats. The admission process is very much a individualized process, where we are accepted and rejected not only on stats alone. I can see how one may compare oneself to another applicant, and may boost one's confidence or even be demoralizing. Last thing I want to do is influence someone the wrong way.

I am very confident that people who study hard at school, who give it there all doing their EC's, and who prepare for the interviews will do well regardless of what other people's stats are.
