[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, the odds for a $1 lotto ticket to win is about 1/100,000 to and the odds for getting in Stanford are about 1/20. Completely different expectations.[/quote] Actually, the Stanford odds are not about 1/20.[b] If my kid applied, his odds would be 1/100000000. [/b] [/quote] Ah, so you're saying there is a chance! :D [/quote] :lol: NP, and I think the comparison holds -- if all high school seniors applied, the odds of getting in would drop, and if everyone over 18 bought a lottery ticket, the odds would drop, too. [/quote] OMG PP, please tell me you did not go to Stanford or any other top school because you are dumb. The odds of winning the lottery is dependent on the number of combination of outcomes-the numbers required to win and total possible combinations. It has nothing to do with the number of people playing like college admissions. 7th grade statistics.[/quote]
