Mr. Madrid, 18, got a taste of how random the results can seem. He was among the 95 percent turned away by Stanford, but he got into Yale, which he plans to attend, and he admitted having no real insight into the reasons for either decision.

I see a six-figure student loan debt in this young man's future.

I think if you are going into six figure debt an Ivy League is worth it. The problem is the six figure debt for attending some generic liberal arts college.

I heard recently that if you get into Yale it is free. Supposedly their endowment is so large they can afford to not collect tuition.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guy won the lottery by getting into Yale and NOT getting into Stanford.
