At the end of the day the real admission rate if you aren't ALDC or a minority is 1%. Probably lower, because many of those will be bribes. Do not fucking think for a second that a double digit percentage of those students didn't get in with bribes. I personally applied at 21 to stanford harvard yale and princeton twice and got rejected, always. that's despite raising $500k for a moonshot company and having a 1500 sat. but I might just be salty. in the end I attended a few semesters at Stanford anyway, with professors' blessings.
