Cal was not even on the top 20 schools for the lost admits last year



Really? I can’t imagine what 20 schools took more cross-admits from Stanford than Cal. Six or seven I can imagine, maybe even nine or ten, but 20? That’s so hard to believe.

I suppose the change will boost the yield a little at HYPS as a group (maybe also the intellectual EA tier, too, places like Georgetown, MIT, Chicago, BC). And that means reducing the total number of acceptances handed out. But I think we’re talking only a little, tiny bit – maybe a few dozen per school.
