[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No. With the exception of Harvey Mudd, which edged out Stanford, none of the LACs make the top 10 in selectivity as measured by median test scores.[/b] http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1789717-ranking-by-selectivity-for-help-picking-reaches-matches-safeties-p1.html[/quote] You're not comprehending OP's argument. This isn't a statistics question.[/quote] Oh I think I understand OP's neighbor's argument quite clearly. And the notion that stats seemingly have no relevance is telling. I get (and agree) that % admitted doesn't inherently correspond to quality (it's more about supply vs demand). But if you throw academic credentials of those admitted into the mix and that doesn't matter either, then the implication is that an elite school is one that accepts the right/best sort of people. And if you don't know who those are, well you aren't one of them/us.[/quote]
