Turning down the Ivy Leagues for....

[xiggi]

<p>

xiggi, settle down. I’m not here to fight. Why do you always have to be so combatant when you say something about topics related to Cal? In other words: Why do you hate Cal so much? </p>

<p>I am aware that a lot of students have turned down Cal for Stanford. I’ve seen the links which were posted on here for 2 years running now and the report was something I totally expected, though your 1,700 is too high. (Where did you get that, btw?) The cross-admits between Cal and Stanford are something like 600++ a year only.

</p>

<p>RML, you are quite confused. I do not hate Cal so much. I do not hate it all. However, when posters ask legitimate questions, they do deserve a lot more than silly cheerleading, idle speculation, and complete fabrication disguised as a “fact.”</p>

<p>In your case, and despite having been corrected several times, you remain unwilling to admit the simple fact there is LITTLE to NO cross-enrollment between Stanford and Cal. I have explained this to you in several attempts, including clearly showing the number of admissions (about 2300,) the number of enrolled students (about 1700) and, finally, the number of students who decided to enroll at Cal instead of Stanford (fewer than 12.) </p>

<p>Fwiw, the OP asked “how often students turned down Ivy League school for less prestigious schools.” This was not really a debate about students turning down Cal. You decided to add that Cal students did turn down Stanford … often. </p>

<p>And that is something you know not to be true. So why continue to pepper your posts with misleading information?</p>
