[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a simple formula - rich or hooked - for everyone else it's a lottery[/quote] Hardly a lottery for unhooked applicants without the stats.[/quote] Yeah you're right - it's not a lottery. The admissions rate at Stanford this most recent cycle (24/25) was 3.6% Is there really a marked difference between 100% not happening or 97% chance not happening??? [/quote] You're assuming that all applicants have a 3.6 percent chance. The reality is that most applicants are close to zero, and then a smaller fraction have a better than 3.6 percent chance (but still low and it's essentially a lottery for them).[/quote]
