[quote=Anonymous][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]

Not relevant for impacted majors.  I know in-state kids at Rice, MIT, Princeton who were denied their major at UT McCombs or engineering.  [b]And, of course not impressive to the DCUM crowd, Emory, Rhodes, Tulane, and Vanderbilt.[/b]

On the other hand, it seems pretty easy to transfer into UT as a sophomore.  Know a handful of kids outside of the auto admit who are in at UT from community college, Clemson, DePaul as a sophomore this year.  Can't speak to major or school.  [/quote]

Two of those schools are not like the others. [/quote]
