[quote=Anonymous]I know Swarthmore has been marketing a ton to try to push their acceptance rate to the single digits. None of the other 7 come close to how much they've done. Bowdoin is testing optional. Amherst is in a more urban area and has the five college consortium compared to isolated, stand-alone Middlebury/Williams. Pomona has the California factor, similar to how UCLA/UCB have the lowest state school acceptance rates and Stanford has the lowest acceptance rate period. Williams and Middlebury are also larger (esp. Middlebury, almost 800 students more than Swarthmore and Pomona), so they have to admit more students to fill their class. Pomona admitted 750 in total, Swarthmore 900, Williams 1250, and Middlebury 1800. I wouldn't read too much into it- all these 8 schools are largely equivalent in their educational offerings and strength of student body regardless of acceptance rates. [/quote]
