[quote=Anonymous][quote]I stand corrected.  I still don't think cross admit figures have changed that much between the non HYP Ivys and Williams and Amherst.  If Parchment is to believed, 67% of cross admits betw Williams and Dartmouth choose Williams:  http://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Dartmouth+College&with=williams  That really doesn't seem right to me but I'd bet that cross admit stats between the 90s and today hasn't materially changed.  Then again who knows for sure...[/quote]

Parchment has been around for quite a while.. 2007 or so? It'd be interesting to see patterns for recent years. Some students in Dartmouth recently asked a survey from enrolled students (http://www.dartblog.com/data/2017/02/013116.php) about the schools they turned down, and both Williams/Amherst were in the top 5 with 7.56% turning them down each. The results includes ED students who couldn't apply elsewhere (who represent 50% of the student body, similar to Amherst/Williams), so in reality, you're looking at around 15% of the students admitted RD turning down Amherst and 15% turning down Williams.

Dartmouth got a big spike in yield too, going to 61% last year vs. 52% the year before. Amherst's yield remained consistent at ~40%, and Williams at ~44%. If I had to guess, I'd guess that Amherst/Williams lose the cross-admit battle to Dartmouth today- not as major as HYPS, but still a loss.[/quote]
