<p>I am not privy to the Stanford/Princeton cross-admit numbers, but it is my impression that Stanford's largest overlap is generally with Harvard, followed by Yale, MIT and Princeton 4th.</p>
<p>Here is <em>half</em> the story for the Class of 2008 - the number of people who turned down Stanford for other schools - including Princeton. Approximately 65 cross-admits turned down Stanford for Princeton, out of a total of 821 Stanford admits who went elsewhere.</p>
<p>Approximately 425 Princeton admits to the class of 2008 went elsewhere. Since Princeton and Stanford had roughly the same yield rate, the difference can be accounted for by (1) the difference in class size, and (2) the difference in the percentage taken early. (ED admits at Princeton accounted for nearly 50% of the Class of 2008.)</p>
<p>Princeton's one of the few schools that I considered picking over Stanford...a surprising number of the kids I met at Admit Weekend were making the same choice as I was.</p>
<p>I thought there werent to many princeton/stanford cross-admits, considering that both are very different universities. Im a princeton/stanford cross admit, it was difficult to decide.</p>
<p>yield rate is higher for Harvard 80%, Yale 70%, Pton 68%, Penn 65%, Stanford 57%. This becuase Stanford admits more HY EAs to claim it is in the same league.</p>
<p>Also, baba, the 2004 revealed preference rankings indicate that Stanford is third best at winning students in one on one battles with other elite universities. It ranked higher than Princeton and was superseeded by Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>back to NAME game. Stanford cannot guess which will go to pton IN RD since they have ED, so it is A guess works. That is why low cross admit. But Harvard/Yale have EA, so you give lots of admissions to Harvard and Yale EAs in RD the most do not come. That gets you low yield around 67% in line with Pton and Penn but you claim victory buy showing who we lost to namely Harvard and Yale. Some one has to look at Harvard loss: I would bet it would 80% to other Ivy and LACs. Same for Yale their loss of 30% YIELD WOULD MOST LIKE TO OTHER IVY AND LACS. I WOULD BET THAT IN HARVARD/YALE ADMIT LOSS RANKING STANFORD WOULD BE LESS THAN5%. </p>
<p>SOME ONE SHOULD CHEKCK HIGH SCHOOLS IN CA FEEDING INTO STANFORD SOME FEED AS MUCH AS 10 COMPARE TO 1 OR 2 FROM TOP HIGH SCHOOLS IN EAST.</p>
<p>Penn Has Higher Ranked Med School, Law School And Business School. Than Stanford. So Penn Is Where Benjamin Franklin, First Computer, First Business School, First Med Shchool, First University System Was Established. Founders Of Cisco Came From Penn. Stanford Other Than Hp Not Much. Intel Has Berkeley Connection So Is Sun, Msft Is Harvrad, Apple Is Xerox Parc.</p>
<p>Regarding the Graduate school rankings that you cited, US News' Rankings, although not the best of sources, place Stanford Business School tied with Wharton, Stanford's Law School above UPenn's and Stanford's Engineering school is far, far above Upenn's.
Only UPenn's Medical Schools ranks higher than a Stanford graduate school. </p>
<p>Additionally, UPenn is ranked 12th in the latest Revealed Preference rankings so, as much as you can fit stories around yield figures, Upenn generally loses common admits to other top universities including most of the Ivy League. In fact, it only places above Cornell in these rankings.</p>
