Doubt that is accurate. First the stats of Pratt applicants are higher then Trinity on average. The EC’s for the 2 applicant pools while I’m sure equally impressive will be different. For Pratt they are looking for 205 students with no regard for Trinity applicants. The following per my older brother who knows pretty much everybody in admisisons at another top 10 college. According to him while the obo analogy may have some relevance it is very small. The number one admission strategy is the best applicants weighted by level of probability of accepting a Duke offer. How they go about this determination is part art and part science. They now students with X interests will have Duke at the top of their list. They know different high schools have a history of going to Duke. They look through the essays looking for Duke specific passion versus cut and paste responses. There are certain ways the essays are presented to the trained eye are very telling. While we see yield in total or between between Pratt and Trinity the elite schools have yield divided into lots of categories. The notion that admissions is a fluid process isn’t the case. It is actually a very systematic process that may look random individually but looks anything but in total.
