My D, was deferred at Columbia and later rejected. Her friend was deferred at MIT and later accepted. My D, now a Cornell student, had higher SAT’s, GPA and class rank than her friend now attending MIT. My D also had higher SAT’s, GPA and class rank than another student in her class that was accepted at Stanford.

College admission at the selective schools, given you have the credentials, seems to be a crap shoot.
