[quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about something I haven't heard discussed much here or elsewhere - I noticed that total acceptance rates are not always what they appear to be if you're looking at SLAC's as a domestic applicant, whereas the total acceptance rate is roughly the same as the domestic acceptance rate at top national universities. I wonder whether this pattern holds true at the other SLAC's, but most of them do not make it available (Williams, Pomona, Swarthmore, Middlebury, for example). Anyone know more about this?

Here's an example for universities and SLAC's that do report this (calculated from 2024-2025 CDS, rounded to nearest whole percent).

Princeton:
Total acceptance rate: 5%
Domestic: 5%
International: 2%

Vanderbilt:
Total acceptance rate: 6%
Domestic: 6%
International: 4%

Johns Hopkins:
Total acceptance rate: 6%
Domestic: 7%
International: 1%

Amherst:
Total acceptance rate: 9%
Domestic: 14%
International: 3%

Bowdoin:
Total acceptance rate: 7%
Domestic: 11%
International: 1%
