<p>That 'video' has been debated a lot in the past, and the general conclusion is that it's not accurate (even at the time), since admissions have changed.</p>

<p>Here's the article on Stanford's admissions--it's a little old, but still relevant:</p>

<p>There was a similar article on Harvard's admissions, but I'm not sure where it is.</p>

<p>Ah, found it.</p>

<p>I found the harvard one pretty interesting, but not the stanford one...</p>

<p>anyway, thanks!</p>

<p>Have any others?</p>

<p>There was one on the University of Chicago, but I can't seem to remember where it was. It was on some news site...</p>
