[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard accepted someone from our high school. Sounds like Harvard's list moved a lot. Interesting. Where did the kids go who didn't accept? I know of one who chose MIT over Harvard. Is that how it usually goes? [/quote]

It seems that quite a few chose Stanford over Harvard this year. [/quote]

At our private someone chose Wharton over Harvard and Princeton over Harvard.

Also it moved this week at our non-DMV private.[/quote]

Significant changes could be coming to both Harvard and Yale, and it makes one wonder if students would have picked differently had they known of possible shifts in mission and grading policies.  [b]Ironically, it might be that Yale would have the most "draconian" grading policy of all the schools.[/b]

MIT/Stanford/Princeton seem like more known entities in terms of their policies this year.  Princeton has made some changes related to video recording in the last 6 months, and the proctor policies didn't really matter to DD.  She had picked Yale over Princeton and probably would still pick Yale even with all the potential changes, but I wonder if others would at least ponder if they were given multiple choices to choose from especially between the HYPSM with some of the unknowns.

Where have you heard that Yale might adopt "the most draconian grading policy"? [/quote]
