[quote=Anonymous][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]

Idk, mine got into multiple T10 in RD, for one of these oversubscribed majors, unhooked white kid from the DMV. Seems many unhooked new friends at the ivy with the same techy interests got in RD. Plenty were ED as well, but RD was not a bunch of hooked kids. [/quote]
