Date: May 12th, 2018 7:17 PM Author: Primrose stimulating sneaky criminal I guess I get Harvard and Stanford, given that their regular decision acceptance rate is 2-3%. But he got into Duke, Northwestern, Dartmouth, which are on the same tier as the schools that are yield protecting. Also, not getting into MIT was stunning given his strong STEM credentials.

|
Date: May 12th, 2018 7:21 PM Author: Sepia wagecucks hell for MIT as an azn, you can't just tick all the boxes, you'd have to have done something unique and extraordinary like build some kind of novel robot or been coding since 10 years old.
as for the "lower" tier schools, some will decide to yield protect and some will not, hoping he chooses them. Duke, NW, and Dartmouth all have certain unique properties that could make them the eventual choice (although if he's smart, he'll choose P). Again, it's a crapshoot. |
|
Date: May 12th, 2018 7:22 PM Author: Primrose stimulating sneaky criminal He already decided on Princeton; it was his 4th choice behind Harvard, Stanford, MIT. He also got a merit scholarship from Duke. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3975330&forum_id=2#36038445) |

|
Date: May 12th, 2018 7:28 PM Author: Primrose stimulating sneaky criminal Duke is good for biological sciences. My cousin wants to do a double major in econ and CS, so Princeton is a far better fit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3975330&forum_id=2#36038476) |

|
Date: May 12th, 2018 7:32 PM Author: Primrose stimulating sneaky criminal He said he wasn't that impressed with the caliber of Duke students. He felt that he was smarter than 99% of them but at Princeton he would be just above average. At Harvard and MIT, probably median.

Date: May 12th, 2018 7:33 PM Author: Spectacular locus macaca Princeton has a large % of legacies - more than other Ivies, so he will prob be smarter than most
To be honest, some of the most insufferable people I've known have been Princeton grads...much more so than Harvard, Yale, etc. |
|
Date: May 12th, 2018 7:34 PM Author: Primrose stimulating sneaky criminal yeah, I meant among non-legacy/URM.

Anyway, getting into any one of H/S/M/P (sorry Y, but you're gay) is really all anyone can hope for, and not much different from getting into all four. You can only attend one college anyway and there are good reasons for picking each of the four over the others. You don't get to put a list of "colleges accepted at" on your resume. |
