There’s a picture of a conversation on the FB group, where people were citing specific college admissions officers saying these things. Every single Questie I have talked to ranked Yale and we all have 12 slots this year increasing the volume. According to the FB group poll, which includes 1600 of the 140000 finalists, 98 percent of them chose Yale for one of their 12 spots, even if it was only 50% in all parts of the group not on Facebook, it would dwarf SCEA.
Princeton, Yale, and Stanford all had percentages well over 90% because these are the non-binding schools, making it a great option for almost any Questbridge student because so few of us have had a chance to visit campus’ before making binding decisions. Even the fly -n programs occur after the ranking deadline, except for one school.
