<p>Really? Midd is GENEROUS when admitting deferees in the RD round? Do you happen to have any specific stats about that? Thank you for that boost of confidence! And thank you also to Papa Chicken and arcadia for your advice and information, respectively.</p>

<p>Manipulators are indeed rewarded. It is a shame that some schools are so darn obsessed with their rankings that they forego all sense of integrity, and seem oblivious to the ridicule earned for their inconsistent arithmetic. </p>
