The selectivity index is a rating system that looks at the percentage of accepted students who enroll (yield rate) divided by the overall acceptance rate. It’s a measurement of both the selectivity and desirability of the college or university. 1. Minerva University 2.Harvard University logoHarvard University 2 2 3. Stanford University 4.

So, all Ivies on top. Not a surprise. |
Am I the only one who's never heard of Minerva? Or Stanbridge?? |
Minerva recruits internationally and has a very very simple (I think free?) application process, so they get a lot of international applicants |
Where’s Emory? |
Ranked 53, just ahead of Haverford and Bates. This list combines every type of college. SLAC, research university, specialty (Arts/Music), miitary academies, etc. |
It's also a measure of who has ED.
Colby, for example, would not be yield more than ND if not for ED. Schools with no ED (please them) get dinged in this. |
*bless them, not please them. |
Crazy, Minerva has 25 students!
Minerva University (formerly Minerva Schools at Keck Graduate Institute) is a private online university headquartered in San Francisco, California.[1] It was established in 2012 by Ben Nelson using $25 million in venture funding from Benchmark Capital. All classes are conducted as online seminars capped at 19 students. Students travel to and live in a new country each semester, starting their education in San Francisco, USA, and then living in Seoul-South Korea, Taipei-Taiwan, Hyderabad-India, Bueno Aires-Argentina, London-UK, Berlin-Germany and then ending their program in San Francisco, USA. |
UCLA,Cal, and USC do not have ED. Their yield of 40ish percent is remarkable given that is based entirely on May decisions of accepted students who have the freedom to pick any school. If any of the 3 instituted ED, you’d see yield rise for these schools.

Where are all the NEU haters - #27
Maybe someday they'll realize that times, and schools, change! |
UC schools are top notch, especially Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD. |
2,3,4 and 5 don’t have ED. |
Testament to how far ahead those 4 are of everyone. |
The list is obviously bunk since it doesn't have UVA |
