Admittedly this is hardly a statistically significant sample, since it consists of exactly one data point each, but FWIW I know:

A barely qualified kid who did Columbia summer science program and was admitted to Columbia SEAS; otherwise was probably going to a state U.

A great, well qualified kid, legacy at Yale, was rejected by Yale; they wrote a letter about how they “received so many great applicants”… Dad was majorly disappointed.
Your stats may have been better than his kid’s stats were though.

Both of these were some years ago by now, also.
