[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More apps = lower acceptance rate = more selective [/quote] [b]Seems unethical to get kids' hopes up in order to lower your admissions rate.[/quote][/b] Yes, but they don't care. The job of the people mailing you that stuff is to get your kid to apply so the institution can turn them down = a higher selective institution number that can be reported to the USNWR. [/quote] You people need to read and learn before you post your tinfoil hat theories. USNWR has not used acceptance rate in their calculation for years. [/quote] But there absolutely is prestige associated with kids going to selective schools, so of course it works well for the university to be seen as more selective rather than less so. Part of that is getting more kids to apply, even kids that don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.[/quote]
