Cross admit percentages might be interesting from a large, national sample. But a cross section from a handful of Crimson’s suckered families? Oh my. This is a new low.
Well it tells how people who care most about prestige choose

Agreed. Source of data questionable.

If you take out state schools, which are good schools at good value but not the similar category as top privates then its same 20 schools which keep shuffling rankings.

Nothing of what you say makes much sense. If they would pick HYPSM over Vandy then they are prestige seekers because those aren’t “fun” schools.
Also, doesn’t sound like your kid and their friends is getting into any of these schools…so maybe they should set their sights on Alabama and similar places.

There’s some incongruity in how you describe your kid and her friends, and MIT.

The sample size of true cross admit data between any two colleges is miniscule and barely moves the pointer on yield at these colleges. A large pool of the students with the most power to make independent decisions is removed from the pool with ED and practically with SCEA, because very few students get admitted to more than one SCEA School given the abysmal RD admit rate at these schools. Students that are left in the RD pool are essentially financial aid shoppers and their decision to pick one School over another is hardly "market efficient". It's heavily "market distorted" by aid dollars.
For e.g.a Penn vs Duke or Vanderbilt will only be based on an RD pool where Vanderbilt can win every cross admit bake off with enough merit or need based aid dollars. This says nothing about the true market position of either Penn or Vanderbilt.
Any school that is test optional should never be in the top 10-20. With test scores starting to come back it should be one of the main ranking criteria: everyone submits scores and 100% of applicants are in the reported average.

probably the most intelligent approach i’ve seen - LACs will probably start appearing in the 30s or 40s
