<p>So many factors go into the process that I don’t think anyone giving firm accept, waitlist, reject predictions can get 100% accuracy when dealing with the highly selective schools. Our son’s school has a long history of dealing with Cornell and have been pretty reliable on their forecasts. A lot of kids get into Cornell from this school. S applied and was given a high chance for his first choice Cornell school, and a low one for his second choice. He was rejected from the first choice school and accepted to the second choice one. His classmate who was given a good chance in getting into the same school was waitlisted with higher grades, comparable courses, more applicable ECs and similar SAT scores. Who would have been able to figure that one?</p>
