<p>Oh, okay. That’s fair, and it’s very plausible. It could also be that there was a higher number of top Andover students applying to Harvard than the number of top Andover students applying to Yale–thereby more Andover students would have success in acceptance to Harvard than those in acceptance to Yale. For example, if a whole bunch of Andover students applied to Harvard early and got in, many of them would then have no reason to apply to Yale. Therefore the pool applying to Yale (say, regular decision) might be a weaker pool (possibly deferred from Harvard or maybe just didn’t apply early anywhere).</p>
<p>This is just one theory–I’m not bashing yours. I just thought I would defend my school. :- )</p>
<p>You can defend yours too. Have fun at Yale next year.</p>
