<p>The Op’s data are for the matriculates, not the admitted students. So, we don’t know exactly what Stanford did when they accepted the students. The results could be a reflection of many things happened in between – like lost more Asian HYPSM cross-admits to other HYPSM schools. The OP’s daughter was a perfect example. Don’t forget that Harvard and Princeton removed their EA programs two years ago, a lot of things could have changed since then.</p>
<p>HYPS usually do similar things. Check what HYP did in the past four years, the answer may be clear.</p>
<p>BTW, to the OP, the reason that your daughter was rejected by Princeton simply could be that Princeton tried to avoid the cross-admit problems with other schools.</p>
