[quote=Anonymous]There is nothing to be learned from this unicorn result. There is no "formula". Of the 15,000 students applying to both Yale and Harvard each year, there are only about 300 or 400 students admitted to both. Extend this principle to admission to Harvard, Yale and Princeton and get further drop off. Extend it to a fourth and a fifth and you will quickly realize that the probability of getting into all eight is really, really remote. As evidenced by this rare outcome, there is probably a story or two out there that is so compelling as to makes someone a must admit candidate, and no amount of speculation and discounting by this uninformed group will shed any light on the subject. I too question the motivation to apply to all eight. I do not, however, question that the candidate must have been outstanding.[/quote]
