Can a 2400 Valedictorian count on getting into at least 1 Ivy?

It’s not all about stats. Circle back to those Brown figures. Why do you think 81% of vals or 83% with Math 800 got rejected? You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s because Brown thought they all were shoe-ins at Harvard, MIT or Princeton and was protecting its yield. You’re kidding yourself if you think Brown is alone in this, among the Ivies.

<p>Again, citing Brown is misleading because Brown’s admit rate is in the single digits - still insanely selective, with an admit rate that is lower than Stanford’s admit rate was in 2007. Cornell’s admit rate however, is more than 16%, 2 points away from UC Berkeley’s admit rate - there’s a huge difference here.</p>
