@bernie12 Sure the school self reported it, but the fact that the admissions team “intentionally supplied incorrect ranking data” is enough to convince me that they can lie about other things like whether they take demonstrated interest into account. Perhaps you are right that their current admissions team is different. I really hope that is the case as they are representing I very nice school. I know a truly honest and transparent elite school admissions team: MIT. Many others might agree and disagree with me.
