<p>I have a friend whom was admitted to MIT, Harvard, and Colorado (Safety). He was also denied from Berkeley and Princeton. Chose Harvard in the end due to slightly better financial aid versus MIT.</p>

<p>P-S: 8-4 (In head-head matchups, Princeton wins 8-4)
P-H: 4-3</p>
<p>H-Y: 7-7

<p>From this, we can total the margins of victory across all opponents:</p>
<p>H: +1
Y: +3
P: +4
M: +0
S: -8</p>
<p>I doubt that the data collected here reflects the reality of the general cross admits population. It would be interesting to find their majors, the reasons they choose one school over another, and how much money they got from each school. </p>
<p>In terms of money, I believe H and Y have advantage over PSM. I heard that H and Y waive tuition for the family with annual income < $200,000. I don’t believe PSM are as generous as them.</p>
<p>datalook</p>
<p>As for Princeton, I don’t think that its financial aid is less than Harvard/Yale, but it is slightly different. Harvard and Yale are both free for students with family income under $60,000, while Princeton is free for students with family income under $75,000. Princeton then has a sliding scale of aid for families making up to $200,000 (i.e., those making from $60,000-$120,000 pay no tuition, but some percentage of room and board). At Harvard, families with up to $180,000 in income have an expected contribution of up to 10% of their income, while at Yale, it’s somewhat less clear, although families with incomes under $200,000 will receive aid. I don’t think that anyone is clear on how much aid would be given by each school for an individual family, but I don’t think that Princeton is less generous than Harvard/Yale.</p>
<p>Stanford definitely offers less aid to the middle class, while it is comparable to Harvard for under $100,000. The middle class is still squeezed and that fact weighed heavily in S’s decision to selct Harvard over Stanford.</p>
<p>to digress, but here’s some interesting stats from people i know of
Tsinghua, PRC - ALSO ADMITTED TO: MIT, Stanford
Cambridge, UK - ALSO ADMITTED TO: Harvard, Yale
Oxford, UK - ALSO ADMITTED TO: Yale</p>

<p>Total number of cross-admits is 123. Most of those cross-admits are, I believe, financially insensitive to the financial aid programs at those schools. Obviously, Yale lead the pack and Princeton accepted the most. I am trying to reveal their secrets… if they know this themselves.</p>
<p>Considering that most people will be posting to this list after seeing a thread in the forum of the college they’re about to matriculate, this list is at least a measure of how “visible” threads on other forums are (eg due to frequent bumps) and how active different universities’ CC communities are, as it is a measure of actual cross-admit matriculation.</p>
