[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question I ask myself all the time. The rankings/necessary stats/acceptance rates are all over the board. Makes no sense. [/quote] It only makes no sense if you think the quality of the school is based on how selective admissions is. [/quote] In general, it's still the law of supply and demand. Better the quality of the school, more demand, higher selectivity. [/quote] But that isn’t true at a school like Bates or Tulane that take above 80% of the class ED and have ED acceptance rates above or at 50%, then have sub 10% acceptance rate ED. In that case, it means the student body is rich and can ED a school that will be approaching 100k a year when they graduate. Because you can’t tell me the ED pool for Bates or Tulane or some of the their worst offenders is 5x stronger than the RD pool. These schools are just manipulating yield for USNWR rankings. [/quote]
