I agree with Interesteddad - the USN&WR selectivity rankings are pretty useful. I would not be shocked if a student is accepted by the #6 school and and then waitlisted by #8, but I might be surpirsed if the student was accepted by the #6 school and then rejected by #12. Legacy status, athletics, essays, ECs etc can make a difference at individual schools however.
