<p>This blog analyzed cross-admits, and found that Stanford and Princeton went 50-50.</p>
<p>Mathacle</a> Blog: Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford Cross-Admits for Class 2012</p>
<p>The New York Times table from 2006 had it Stanford 52, Princeton 48.</p>

<p>So, if you want to be guided on the basis of how people actually choose, flip a coin.</p>
<p>^^ pretty off, I'd say. For one, I highly doubt that Harvard lost to Yale this year. For another, the dean of admissions at Stanford already stated that Yale and Stanford tied this year for cross-admits--80 went to Yale, and 80 went to Stanford (the chart says Stanford won 60% of them). And Princeton, once again, lost to Stanford--as the dean said, Stanford only lost to Harvard this past year.</p>

No more than 35% of people in a department get As, which means u'll be working ur butts off at Princeton. Stanford's more laid back.

<p>While I agree Stanford's more laid-back, I don't agree that you won't work your butt off here. Students work just as hard as elsewhere, I guarantee it; in the end, it's possible, though, that Stanford is more lenient on grading. So, a distinction between work and grade needs to be made.</p>
