[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is interested in small engineering schools where undergrad is the main focus. Rose Hulman tops every list for that. But it accepts something like 70% of applications. Why isn't it more popular?[/quote] Self-selecting applicant pool. In other words -- students who apply there are already very interested in exactly what it has to offer, the way it's offered there. It's not as if a school like that is getting loads of "I'm applying broadly to lots of engineering schools all over the place/all sizes." It's getting students who have already narrowed their applications to relatively few places and who know what they're getting into by applying there. So the high rate of acceptance does not translate to, "We're easy to get into." It actually means, "The relatively small number of students who applied here are precisely what we're all about." That's what I mean by self-selecting.[/quote]
