<p>Do statistics like this appear anywhere? Like for example, for those admitted to both Harvard and Yale, what % go to Harvard? And the same for Harvard/Princeton and Yale/Princeton.</p>
<p>Yeah, they're somewhere on the internet.</p>
<p>If anyone knows where, please let me know. I've done some searching and don't see anything. You often hear of people referring to these stats which I think would be very interesting. Of the people accepted to both Harvard/Yale or Harvard/Princeton, are there any stats on what people decide between the two? And I mean stats, not individual stories. Thanks all.</p>
<p>HYPSM is in the top group, with Harvard leading out of all of those.</p>
<p>Dartmouth Duke Columbia Penn and Brown are in the next group, with them losing the majority of admits to HYPSM (80-20 to 90-10) and being between 60-40 and 40-60 against each other.</p>
<p>The only source I have regarding most of the schools is the Duke Dean of Admissions' comments regarding cross-admits, which can be viewed in a few places over the years, but I think most recently in this article:
<a href="http://media.www.dukechronicle.com/media/storage/paper884/news/2006/09/04/News/Duke-Still.Step.Below.Top.Schools-2255803.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://media.www.dukechronicle.com/media/storage/paper884/news/2006/09/04/News/Duke-Still.Step.Below.Top.Schools-2255803.shtml</a></p>
<p>However, his comments (naturally) don't provide any insight regarding cross admits within the HYPSM group.</p>
<p>Just found this which is exactly what I was looking for earlier. Think it's reliable?</p>
<p>The New York Times chart is based on certain researchers' analysis of a data set gathered several years ago. Those researchers, who are preparing their working paper on the subject </p>
<p>for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, make no claim that a current data set would necessarily show the same results. </p>
<p>I'm sure most colleges have internal studies on this issue related to their own group of cross-admits, and I'm confident in the wild guess that if any college were consistently beating Harvard year in and year out in winning cross-admitted students that we would hear about it from someone. I would like to see the "revealed preference" study design applied to a current data set of high school students choosing colleges, and I will look forward to the researchers' published paper when it is published, and to replies to that paper from other scholars when they are published. </p>
<p>Where would you like to go, if you were admitted to all colleges to which you applied?</p>
<p>Cross-admit stats are biased towards more selective schools in terms of actually revealing preferences. </p>
<p>For example, I would have gone to Berkeley over Columbia, but since I knew if I got into Columbia, I would also get into Berkeley I didn't bother applying to Columbia. If the opposite had been true, I would have applied to both, with Berkeley a safety.</p>
