[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone noticed that some of the best (but not “very best”) public universities still have high acceptance rates in 2025? Two of the most shocking are Illinois and Washington, some of the best research stem schools with global brands, but the acceptance rate is 40%. UT Austin’s acceptance rate is 30%, and had many great departments across the board, most of which match or surpass UVa/UNC Wisconsin is the most shocking of all, with a 40% acceptance rate, despite a distinguished history. If you put any of these “A-“ publics up against privates such as Vanderbilt or Washu, they are academically competitive but the acceptance rate for the ladder two are much lower. [/quote] Shouldnt this be a good thing and celebrated? Why put so much value on exclusivity? If these universities are really as good as they claim to be, they should be able open their doors to a wider range of people and elevate them socially. [/quote]
