[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dame has an 18% acceptance rate this year with a 22 % RD rate. That significantly higher than all the other schools in the top 25. [/quote]

Where are you getting 18% from? It’s definitely lower. The acceptance rates from last year at top schools show Notre Dame is on par with many of the best colleges.

Schools significantly more selective than Notre Dame:

Harvard (3%)
Stanford (4%)
Caltech (4%)
Columbia (4%)
MIT (4%)
Duke (5%)
Yale (5%)
Brown (5%)
Princeton (6%)
UPenn (6%)
Dartmouth (6%)
Vanderbilt (6%)
Northwestern (7%)
Cornell (7%)
John’s Hopkins (7%)

Notre Dame’s Peer Group Acceptance Rates:

Rice (9%)
UCLA (9%)
Tufts (10%)
WashU (11%)
Carnegie Mellon (11%)
Berkeley (11%)
Georgetown (12%)
[b]Notre Dame (13%)[/b]
Emory (16%)
UNC (17%)
Georgia Tech (17%)
UMich (18%)[/quote]

Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Columbia, MIT, Duke, Yale, and Brown need their own category. Once you hit 5% or lower acceptance rate, that's a different world. Accepting 1 in every 20 applicants is ridiculous, especially considering some of those schools (ahem Stanford and Duke) are admitting lots of top-level athletes who don't necessarily have the academics.[/quote]
