I just tried it. Predicted 25-35% chance of admissions ED

That’s a dumb thing to do.

and feed it to Chatgpt for prediction?
If so, report it here, let's see how good the AI prediction is when the results are out.

Mine:
predicted 30% chance of acceptance for ED reach.
Nonetheless, AI insisted that this is the best fit for DC.
