<p>This year a Yale student who was matriculating there stated he wasn’t worried about getting accepted to Yale after he applied because he was from a state that had only a few students apply to Yale each year. He stated the school was calling him constantly before admissions results came out to assure him he would probably be in and to make sure he didn’t go anywhere else. Sounds like pretty good odds to me if you are from a state that doesn’t send many students to Yale. Most high scoring students don’t get this kind of treatment.</p>
