College admission unpredictable

The more interesting cases would be the unexpected decisions. Why wasn’t he accepted everywhere? For example, why was he rejected by Cornell, which is often thought of as the least selective Ivy when he was accepted to HYPSM + Penn + Brown, which are all generally thought of as more selective.

So what about the other schools? Do we think most of them could be yield protection or is it possible that some are just as difficult for admissions for CS especially the state schools since he was OOS?
