Do likely letters from elsewhere correlate with Yale acceptance?

Actually, what often strikes me is that Harvard and Yale rarely cross-admit. Much less frequently than, say, Harvard and Princeton, so it seems that, unless the two schools have some evil covert plan which I doubt, they do value somewhat different qualities when accepting students.



A strange observation, and not one I think can be backed up. They might tend towards different extremes but the vast majority of HYPS admits will be impressive in a universally attractive way.
