[quote=Anonymous]I wish USNWR would stop reporting acceptance rates. Too many dummies unthinkingly equate them with selectivity. Acceptance rate means nothing without understanding the applicant pool. It is well-known that many commuter schools have "low" acceptance rates simply because they receive a large number of unqualified applicants for whom the school is geographically convenient. Conversely, geographic isolation tends to raise a school's acceptance rates, for obvious reasons. VT is fairly isolated. In the state of Florida, FIU (Florida International University) has the lowest acceptance rate in Florida. Do you think it's harder to get into FIU than UF or FSU? You would really need to compare the *enrolled* (NOT admitted) freshman profiles to determine selectivity. [/quote]
