I might add that when I used to look at our school’s Naviance, the real surprises came with the Ivies and MIT. Some went for years without accepting any of the top students, while admitting an occasional outlier (at or below their 25%), presumably a recruited athlete or URM. None seemed to automatically accept students with perfect SAT’s and GPA to match, not even those that admitted students somewhat below that level.
