[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. A school is trying to attain a certain level of diversity. In any crop of applicants, even in a school with a 6% acceptance rate, they may be short on some of that diversity. Thus, a kid could might get into Brown (7% acceptance) but not UMichigan (30%), if that kid's qualifications are in relative short supply in the Brown applicant field.[/quote] You can spin it anyway you want. But no way a student holding a ticket to Brown or Yale will be choosing Michigan for the same price. [/quote] Who said they would choose Michigan? I'm just saying that they may get into Brown and not Michigan. It happens.[/quote] That’s why they call safeties. A student will not choose Michigan if they are holding tickets to more selective schools. OP’s question is are students actually rejected from safeties and get into their more selective school choices. And the answer appears to be in the affirmative. [/quote]
