<p>Here’s my response, as an Adcom:</p>
<p>I am going to rescind you. Too many great applicants who are waitlisted. Seeya later, your loss. I’m excited to send a letter of acceptance to this fellow who has straight A’s in 6 AP courses senior year. He clearly cares about his education, no matter where he’s going to college and no matter what time of year it is. That’s the kind of kid I want.</p>
<p>It’s rare but Ivies can do whatever they want. The answer is yes.</p>
