[quote=Anonymous][quote]Because no one wants to waste time applying to a school with a negligible change of acceptance. If some schools are truly ultra selective, it makes no sense to waste time and energy and put your kid through the ringer only to be rejected and have to go public.[/quote] While I agree that acceptance rate may be nice to know, I'm not sure that it's all that helpful. As another poster mentions above, percentages are the result of many variables -- there are a lot of self selection that goes on, for example. We were told by more than one person during the application stage to forget Maret because their acceptance rate is so low, even if the candidate is deemed highly qualified. We chose to apply anyway and DC was extended an offer, although we declined. [/quote]
