IVY versus top schools like Caltech,MIT,etc.

@molliebatmit

two students turned down MIT for JHU (EDIT: and two turned down MIT for Chicago). 150 turned down MIT for Harvard.

I’m not surprised. The numbers are undoubtedly extremely small. At Stanford, only 9 universities stole more than 1% (6 students) of non-enrolling admits. </p>

<p>Those 9 were the usual suspects (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Caltech, Penn) plus the top CA schools (Berkeley, UCLA, USC).</p>

<p>Let’s leave “many” claims out of the discussion unless one has something better than anecdotal evidence.</p>
