<p>To expand upon the Y, S data above, I also looked at EA for Yale and Stanford to complete the picture.</p>
<p>Here are those results, also from the collegedata.com site, for Regular applicant (not Athlete, not Legacy) for the EA round with high SAT and min. 3.84 unweighted GPA</p>
<p>Yale (EA accepted):
- 2390: 0/1
- 2350: 0/2</p>
<p>Stanford (EA accepted):
- 2400: 0/1
- 2380: 0/1</p>
<p>Oddly, a non-hooked highly statted applicant per this limited sampling is more likely to get into Yale in Regular Decision than in EA. Stanford’s data is consistent… not one person from this sampling of eight applicants was accepted in either round. I’m not sure what to make of that, even considering the small sample size… and how these high statted denials at Stanford support the CDS data that shows Stanford 25/75 CR+M SAT average of 1440 vs. Yale 1485 and Harvard 1490. Clearly Stanford is selecting for something less stats driven, and doesn’t seem to care that its SAT range for enrolled students is noticeably lower than H,Y,P.</p>
