[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell, USC, NYU, BU (larger privates)
Vs
UCLA, Michigan, Berkeley (extremely large, but highly ranked Publix that are comparable in cost)

Hmmm. I don’t think I would go to any of the California schools to be honest[/quote]

The cross-admit data that I’ve seen doesn’t seem to align at all with any of the anecdotal noise here …

UCLA 63% vs. Cornell 37%

UCLA 56% vs. USC 44%

UCLA 83% vs. NYU 17%

UCLA 93% vs. BU 7%[/quote]

Due to instate price[/quote]

The data isn’t confined to CA applicants. Cross-admitted applicants simply choose UCLA by a significant margin.[/quote]

Head in palm. You’re a moron bc you do not understand the raw data behind the numbers you’re throwing out. [/quote]

Really? Let’s use the last one: 93% of applicants admitted to both UCLA and BU, regardless of their residency status, choose to attend UCLA. Go ahead and read the methodology on your own time when you come down off your high of calling others moron in an anonymous forum like DCUM.

But rather than prolong this and pretend you know anything about some imagined insight arising from the raw data, let’s just agree that any kid choosing BU over UCLA - regardless their home state - is an anomaly anyway because they somehow managed a UCLA acceptance, yet couldn’t even secure an acceptance to the 12-15 colleges and universities in the greater New England area that are superior to BU.[/quote]

You mean the methodology that is pasted at the bottom of the website?  This one??
the denominator includes all members who were admitted to both of these schools. The numerator includes those students who chose a given school. In other words, [b]students who were admitted to both schools reveal their preference[/b] for one over the other by attending that school.

And you do not recognize nor understand the importance of California residency in this number? Maybe you were student #2001 in your stats class at ucla, and couldn’t see the screen from the doorway. Residency and thus cost of attendance absolutely matters in the calculation. The only way to represent the data you are spewing is to correct for it. But I bet you don’t know how to do that, huh.

Controlling for residency is going to result in a material difference? 😂😭[/quote]
