Perhaps you had to be on CC at that time or understand how Yale disappointed many CCers by lowering the admit rate and dropping the binding admission.

Perhaps lost to you was the fact that several were rejected as opposed to be deferred. The same people who earned admissions later at schools like Harvard.



At the end of the day, Yale only has so many seats, so when more kids apply, the admit rate gets lowered. That’s not Yale deciding to be a bunch of jerks to people on CC, and that makes those people immature to be “disappointed by Yale.” It speaks to an entitled mentality - that their kids were “owed” something by Yale that Yale meanly took away.

And how does that make it a debacle that someone was rejected from Y but accepted at H? Isn’t that just … how it goes in the world of selective college admissions?
