<p>@Much2learn: I think it may be able to beat Michigan, however, I don’t really buy the other ones. I’m suggesting that the numbers may come out that way because ultimately the sample size is low and thus will have high sensitivity. Like if there are only 10 cross-admits between WashU and Caltech because the app. pools are naturally so different, and 8 choose WashU because such cross-apps and subsequent admits claim that they are pre-med or pursuing other extremely GPA sensitive post-grad opps, then having 8 choose WashU will make that percentage/ratio so high. However, if the app. pools actually did have much more overlap (maybe in some alternative universe, lots of students view the environments at the two to be similar or actually valued more academic rigor or something like that as opposed to the norm of today) , I am willing to bet that Caltech would win or at least have a lower differential.</p>
