Planned/Future Mergers

gollark: 20?

gollark: I've got a bunch of comparison things and university websites open among my 600 random browser tabs.

gollark: I have a weird thing with overresearching random stuff in advance but then procrastinating on actually important decisions/things, so yes.

gollark: I think they have to use the same application timings and suffer similar weirdness with prediction, since most undergraduate applications go through one central system.

gollark: It's kind of stupid but cannot practically be changed now.
