[quote=Anonymous]It looks like there are two favored approaches here: 1. Straight up application numbers 2. Admissions rates, which equal application numbers (the first approach) divided by the number of open slots. So basically, the 2nd approach is equal to the 1st approach, but scaled by class size. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for doing this. In fact, scaling by class size seems like a bad idea, because it introduces biases (the Curtis example). You can try to argue that this scaling by class size somehow captures parental investment of time and money, but that's not what the formula above is actually measuring. To understand parental investment, we'd need to know the application fee, number of essays and play dates, and the rest.[/quote]
