Agreed. Source of data questionable.

Which school is the OP promoting?

Duke

They are not sad that they're not at USC, or Brown, or Chicago. Vanderbilt was their target all along ... regardless of where it falls on this year's USNWR list.

They know it ranks lower than Brown, and the current students we know don't seem to care because they're completely different products. That's why they (and so many other enrolled students) do ED, even before test optional came onto the scene.

I would guess the situation is the same at some of the other very distinctive schools, like Dartmouth and Columbia.

vs., I could personally see the same individual being agnostic between, say, Duke and Northwestern.

What does the last sentence mean ?

If I understand, then this poster doesn't have a clue.

Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Princeton, Dartmouth, Northwestern, UT Austin, UCLA, MIT, Emory, USC. Wow!!
I'm sure more colleges will join this list soon.

There's always an idiot in the crowd.

To whomever posted the above absurdity--nobody believes you.

Where does the cross admit data come from? If it's Parchment then it's unreliable data...

+1

The inclusion of state schools makes this list meaningless.

This reflects the preponderance of interest in majoring in STEM.

I'm a little interested in this, only because it takes away the yield rates etc that highly depend on ED or SCEA tips.

But I dont really care about Yale vs Princeton.

I would be more interested in kids who pick UT Austin over Rice. Or Rice over Northwestern. Or Northwestern over Notre Dame. Or Notre Dame over Dartmouth.

Crimson sourced their own cross admit data from their students and other counselors

The ranking takes into account all the cross admit yields between ranked schools

Data is biased since only a small segment of the overall population would pay for their services.

They’ve gone beyond to source from other areas as well. For the most part the ranking aligns with what we expect, maybe except the 11 - 15 ranks that speak to value of top public’s and schools w particularly strong alumni base

Sounds like the Crimson marketing machine at its full gear. A smart strategy to get their name out in hopes of attracting future customers. Hook, line, sinker?....maybe, maybe not

Stanford is 40% instate

What do you base that on? I've heard that the cross admit data is very accurate for schools with large applicant figures, but less so for smaller schools.
