<p>I can tell you this: For some years, Harvard has taken roughly 3/4 of the cross-admits from its chief competitors as a group. That group consists of Stanford, Yale, Princeton and MIT.</p>
<p>While the size of the pool with each school varies somewhat, it is generally consistent - as is the fraction of overall admits preferring each school.</p>
<p>And generally - although not always - the common admit pool shared with Stanford is a bit larger than that shared with the others.</p>
<p>The fraction preferring Harvard over Stanford is not inconsistent with the overall ratio.</p>
