Based on previous years, it looks like maximum attendee capacity is set at 600 people for Kresge Auditorium. Have the number of applications been drastically increasing every year? What percentage of applications do you anticipate accepting this year?
The number of applicants has increased every year. It looks like there were about 1300 last year. Presumably more this year. Which means statistically the chance of being accepted would be a bit less than 50%. However, the odds would be better for anyone who's reading this, because most people reading this are probably hackers.
We hate having to turn people down. (Among other things, it's a lot of work to read all the applications.) We'd get a bigger venue if we could, but there just isn't one.
I got an expired link when I clicked submit, and when I backtracked, the form no longer contained my data. I successfully submitted a new instance of a blank application a few times (it accepted blank input.) Then I submitted my real application. Will that confuse the system?
