When admission committees go about evaluating interviewed applicants and who to accept, do they take into account the likelihood of whether a particular student will attend?
The reason I am asking is that I've recently interviewed at one of my dream schools (
LizzyM ~ 1.5pts above my LizzyM). And at the interview, most of my fellow applicants have already attended or will be attending interviews at schools that are even more prestigious. I am pretty sure that if they are accepted anywhere else, most of these applicants will be attending elsewhere. But as for me, if I get accepted at this institution, the chances are almost 100% that I will be attending this school. So how often do admissions committee asks themselves "will this student attend if we accept him/her?" or "Will this individual get an acceptance at somewhere better and will go somewhere else?"
