[quote=Anonymous]An admissions professional I follow is adamant that retention is largely about the inputs (students and their backgrounds) and shouldn't be overly judged. I definitely wouldn't treat less than 90% as "low." According to USNews, Harvard is at 92% and Yale has "only" a 90% retention rate. So yes, there are lots of solid schools below 90%. E.g. Trinity, Connecticut, Reed, Mount Holyoke and Bryn Mawr at at 89%. American and Dickinson are at 88%. I think it's fair to think about the student body and their commitment to education, but I wouldn't be too strict in using one measure to understand that.[/quote]
