I just don't know how many people come to really update their profiles there - i mean if you look at cornell R1's there are a lot of unknowns, but all of those have been dinged or accepted by now. Yet, only a handful have updated. So what I meant is, given the poor overall response rate, I'd question how many people go somewhere and never report it or, people who report a school choice but then change their mind.
You don't get it do you? What your saying might be true, but that would be true for ALL schools. Is there any reason why people would only update their profiles once they got into Wharton, but not when they got into Chicago? Of course not. Therefore if in 2008, I see that of 30 some students who got accepted in both Chicago and Wharton and almost all of them chose Wharton over Chicago, that's all I need to know. Who cares about the "unknowns" or people who haven't updated? What your saying is only valid if people only bothered to update for some schools, but not for others. Again, this isn't the case here.
