<p>Comments: :D</p>

<p>Hmm… from what I’ve seen, Yale and Harvard/Princeton seem to be mutually exclusive</p>

71

<p>^One girl at my school got into both HY. I don’t think she applied to P. However, she won Jeopardy, so there’s that. So, “Harvard and Yale are mutually exclusive, unless you have won Jeopardy.”</p>

<p>She got waitlisted at Swat. Shocker. But Swat has, according to my counselor, only accepted one kid (me, how’d that happen?) from my school in the past 15-20 years. I imagine that 50 ED students didn’t go or something horrible.</p>

73

<p>Interesting, there seems to be almost no correlation to any of this. Looking at this it almost seems like all of the Ivies are exactly the same selectivity level.</p>
