When my kid was going through it and we were attending these open house events at various schools, I overheard one girl say, "I don't get it. I was accepted to Harvard, but couldn't get into Wake Forest."

My son recently applied to two grad schools....University of Washington and Stanford. We heard from UW first - turned him down. He figured Stanford was out, then, because it is more selective....but several weeks later he was accepted. We figured the UW denial was due to demographics.

Amazing, isn't it, when Stanford becomes a "safety school" in the diversity admissions lottery? oops! admissions process?
