Agree, that’s how you know it’s bs. How many would pick Michigan over Caltech, it’s not even close. |
Actually quite a few. Caltech is tiny and has a marginal commercial presence. It also has no business program and little in the way of non-STEM. It attracts a very particular kind of student. |
The student who applies to Caltech is looking for that type of environment. I would agree that between Michigan and Caltech acceptances, the latter would be much more preferable for this applicant. |
On Parchment, cross-admits go 80% Caltech, 20% Michigan on Parchment. |
Crimson Education sold out to PE and relies on lots of part-time contractors to do the work, with lots of turnover. Why would you trust New Zealanders to guide you with US college admissions? |
I can see how Parchment would know were kids applied because they send transcripts and selected school because they would send final transcripts, but how would they get information on where the kid was admitted? They would need to get additional information from somewhere. High School or College Admissions offices? |
Parchment is widely known to be very unreliable |
