With all due respect, I think you're stereotyping all the tier 1 schools as the same where ABC is top at all Ivies and XYZ is bottom.
Truth is, "everyone" knows that the Core Four at Duke do not happen to be the same groups at Yale. I can't speak for all (or any) Tier 1 schools or GLOs but as they say, mileage may vary.
PNMs may have different arbitrary cuts other than their hs GPAs/SAT scores. Many of the schools that FootballFan mentions have deferred rush so that fall freshman grades and activities can be added to the evaluations.
