[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My alma mater, University of Iowa, has a straightforward admissions formula that is public. It has a very high admissions percent but it frankly should be even higher because people should have a dang good idea they’re not getting in before they apply! [/quote] +1 Schools that are more predictable with their admissions --e.g. they are public with it or their test scores reflect a narrow high range and not many students apply test optional often have higher acceptance rates because there are fewer unlikely applicants. Schools that want to lower their acceptance rate start becoming unpredictable--they accept some students with lower than anticipated scores, they turn away some top students etc. This makes a wider group of students think they have a shot at the school.[/quote]
