[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have data on JHU against the top 12 universities?[/quote]

No but earlier there was a pretty good representative sample:

[b]Cross-Admit Data with Some of the Ivy League[/b]

Johns Hopkins 16% - Yale 84%
Johns Hopkins 19% - Columbia 81%
Johns Hopkins 41% - Dartmouth 59%
Johns Hopkins 49% - Cornell 51%

[b]Cross-Admit Data with Some of the Top Non-Ivy League[/b]

Johns Hopkins 15% - Stanford 85%
Johns Hopkins 19% - Duke 81%
Johns Hopkins 31% - UChicago 69%
Johns Hopkins 35% - Northwestern 65%
Johns Hopkins 44% - Rice 56%
Johns Hopkins 53% - WashU 47%
Johns Hopkins 61% - Vanderbilt 39%

It's funny how Hopkins really struggles to attract students from several of the schools that the Hopkins-loving PP says are "not in the same league" and way below Hopkins.[/quote]

Wow, Hopkins gets wrecked by Yale, Columbia, Stanford, and Duke for cross-admits. They do surprisingly well against Dartmouth though, that's pretty cool.[/quote]

Do the cross-admit numbers really matter much anymore philosophically? Especially with how widely applicants and schools use ED and REA and how some schools use the WL to distort yield numbers and the selectivity landscape. With the large number of highly qualified applicants for these limited spots, schools can pick and choose what they want to focus on admit wise and many of their admits are no longer applying or getting admitted elsewhere at all. Cross-admit data would have been much more telling in the 90s. It also says nothing about who is getting what scholarship and aid packages from the schools listed (or this list doesn't anyway).
