rejected to Cornell, got into somewhere "better"?

<p>has anyone been deffered, waitlisted, or rejected from Cornell, but have been able to get in at other ivy leagues or schools of similar caliber?</p>

<p>i had a friend who got into harvard, yale, and princeton, but cornell rejected her. sometimes they do that because they know that the student will get in somewhere better and chose that school over them so they don't waste their time.</p>
