True. But so is Stanford, Duke, Princeton, Columbia, Penn and most of the other top 20 schools. Among the schools that went to test mandatory, it only bumped up the acceptance rate by a point or two. Whether an acceptance rate is 4 percent or 6 percent doesn't make much difference. It's still a ridiculously low acceptance rate.

Vanderbilt, Duke, Wake Forest and the top Southern flagships offer the complete package with academics, sports, social life, and good weather.

Aware but can’t compare to the elites that got fewer applications due to requiring scores. All hard to get into I realize.

Stop it.

I think this is a bad look.

Back off on the mailings.

Bring back tests.

5-6% is plenty exclusive.

Vandy is 50% TO.
Duke is only 5%
Emory and Rice also have a lot more submitted than Vandy.

Duke is close to 30%. Their AO went on the record last year and indicated as such.

Similar to Stanford, which is also around 30 percent. I'm not sure why most of the top 20 colleges remain TO.

So they can do what OP showed, drive up applications to look more exclusive as their admit rate goes down.

What is the ED acceptance rate? What percentage do they take ED? Is this the type of school (like Tulane or Chicago) where you basically have to apply early?
