i am a little surprised to see that someone got accepted by mccombs but didn't even get on cornell's waitlist.
guess this evaluation process is extremely subjective.....
Two factors:
1) Different adcoms look for/value different things
2) Applicant pools at each school are different
To use myself as an example for point 2, I noticed a lot of people get admitted to both Johnson and Darden on these boards. I was waitlisted at Darden, which leads me to belive that the pool of military applicants was larger/stronger for Round 1 at Darden vs. Johnson. This is just me speculating, but in my case, I'm measured against my fellow service members, not other non-traditional applicants.
