[quote=Anonymous]Read something today online from an IEC that said 90% of the oversubscribed major spots (CS, eng, business, and even bio/psych in some cases) are "allocated" at top schools after the early rounds...... (yes, even for schools that "don't admit by major" - they can't admit an entire freshman class of only CS kids). So, for the high stats kids in the oversubscribed majors, they are just playing a game of roulette in RD. It works out for those kids who offer something else to the AO (geographic diversity, unusual accolades, talent/ability, or hooks). I know this isn't rocket science, but I do think it explains some of the "shocking and disappointing" outcomes we hear about in RD for high stats kids. [/quote]
