@WhartonPenn2017 “Why are you putting down your own school? “even maybe Stanford””
He isn’t trying to. He is just trying to be objective and provide honest information.
@Penn95 “Penn has a sub 50% yield rate ( around 47-48%). Don’t you think that most of this 53-52% are students who turn down Penn for HYPSM?”
Yes, I agree with you that most probably are. Columbia, Brown, Cornell and Dartmouth are also going to get some too, and some will just have a full ride somewhere.
Penn loses more cross admits than it wins against HYPSM, but it wins more of those students than many people might think. At that level of decision, many students may initially lean toward HYPSM, but if they feel more at home at Penn the ranking is close enough that the may decide to go where they think they fit in the best.
@Penn95 “Statistically speaking the majority of RD applicants were rejected at one or more of HYPSM”
True, but that is a true statement for HYPSM too. lol
