<p>@Exodius, thank you! That’s the kind of data that’s very hard to come by for anyone who’s not an admissions officer or university administrator.</p>
<p>If I understand the chart on page 20 correctly, it says it was 50/50 Stanford/Yale for the most recent year shown (2010) with a Stanford win rate ranging from 30% to 57% depending on year. </p>
<p>I’m assuming the number of cross admits is low, thus the huge range in win rate . . .if there were 100 per year I don’t think we’d see that kind of variation.</p>
<p>A low number of cross admits makes sense to me given the high percentage of total admits at both schools that come from the early round - 735/1,935 (38%) at Yale last year and 748/2,138 (35%) at Stanford. My guess would be that many early admits don’t even apply to another school unless they need to compare financial aid offers.</p>
<p>It certainly makes sense that the major overlaps in cross-admits for Stanford would be HYP and MIT. As of now, HYP are the only Ivys with non-binding early programs (not sure about MIT). At the other five Ivys a student has to withdraw other applications and go to that school if admitted early, so they definitely won’t be cross-admitted with Stanford.</p>
