[quote=Anonymous]The admission rate comparison isn't a good way to judge because not all applications processes are the same. I love the UCs and my kid may end up there for grad school. Their acceptance rates are pushed down b/c of the application process, basically being one and done for a number of schools. It's not that unlike schools that don't require an essay. Schools that have dropped essays have seen an increase in number of apps and a related drop in acceptance rates. Who is going to write a WI or MI essay just to toss their hat in the ring? Schools with longer essays or numerous questions (hi, Stanford) are going to have a more self-selecting group of applicants b/c they are willing to not only pay the fee, but put in the extra work on the application.
