How much harder is it to get in during the RD round?

@JHS Interesting analysis. By the way I do agree that there’s still some early advantage after accounting for athletes, legacies, development cases etc. At least that’s what Avery and colleagues conclude.

One number I’ve seen is for athletes - in the Ivies, maximum of 205/year and for some schools they use more like 180 of those slots. So that’s roughly 20% of the Harvard number noted above.
