OK OK OK…

Everyone slow down for a second…

6.8% acceptance rate!!! Can someone please explain that to me for a second? Harvards has just dipped below 10%, how can Yale be closer to 1/20 than 1/10? What is everyone basing this on? I’m freaking out… Is this a sign of things to come for other elite schools?

Oh, and to the OP: You would be a great candidate if it wasn’t for your low ranking. If you emphasised your schools poor quality (P would probably find out anyway) and then went on to say you didn’t do so well, then Princeton would not look favorably at it. You still have a slight chance though, if you really made yourself stand out.
