What? Where did this come from? Wasn't it well over 50% not that long ago? Does Steve Carell add that much cachet to their alumni pool?

That's lower than W&M.

I'm surprised as well. We visited a couple of years ago and it just didn't feel like a highly academic atmosphere. It felt pre-professional - which may be fine for people, of course, but it didn't have that feel of a high selective liberal arts college.

Just checked out their pre-health advising page. Not too impressive. I guess they couldn’t find a single veterinarian alum to profile, but the found an art therapist.

Off our list.

Acceptance rates alone do not provide a clear picture of a college's selectivity.

Don’t get your hopes on your kid becoming a vet. It’s extremely competitive to get into vet school.

My DC went to Denison. Had several excellent job offers to choose from. Happy working and earning a great salary.

It has become pretty competitive, admissions-wise. Adam Weinberg is fantastic.

It has a huge endowment and gives generous merit scholarships to highly qualified students.

I think it gives merit aid to most students. Which may explain its popularity.
