<p>I had no idea these schools were so easy to get into!</p>
<p>anyone noe the figures 4 columbia & cornell?</p>
<p>***, did they increase admit %? why didnt they do that last year? damn these schools, man!</p>
<p>Easy to get into? Hardly. These are very self-selecting pools. Who applies early? Typically the recruited, legacies, and top-notch high-achieving students. Also, RD percentages are much lower because during RD, the same applicant applies to a plethora of different colleges while in the early round, he or she applies to only one (in the case of these schools).</p>
<p>Also, these statistics include most of the recruited athletes at the Ivies so the non-athlete pool is much tougher than these numbers.</p>
