<p>The things we are not so sure:</p>
<p>1.) I did see the usual Harvard/Stanford, Yale/Stanford threads on CC this year, but not so many for Princeton/(Stanford or Yale/Harvard). Did Princeton try to avoid HYPSM cross-admits this year because of the extremely low yield from last year?</p>
<p>2.) I think Stanford won the cross-admit battle over Harvard this year. There were unusual more numbers of self-reporting threads on the CC that people chose Stanford over Harvard.</p>
<p>3.) Harvard’s a little more than 1% higher yield (30 + more students) came mainly from accepting more international students (with more than 90% yield compared regular 77%), and minority students, rather than winning much more HYPSM cross-admits, though there were some cross-admits on those two groups.</p>
<p>4.) There should be more SCEA applications for Harvard/Columbia, as it is silly to win the lotto at under 7% admit rates.</p>
