[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND's acceptance rate is higher when compared to peers. [/quote]

Marginally.  It was 14 percent at ND, 12 at Georgetown, 9 at Rice and 21 at UVA.  It’s also had a higher yield that any of these.  You reach a point where it doesn’t matter.  [/quote]
Actually after the waitlist games ,it ( and Vanderbilt) are notoriously known for,  it's 15%. [b]Also, the yeild is higher because they have less applicants.[/b] 
On topic ND is the second best religiously affiliated school in the country. Considering both us news and WSJ.

That's not how yield works, idiot.  They have a higher yield because it's more of a "destination" school than the others.  Meaning it's a first choice for more of its applicants than other schools in its peer group.  We've been alluding to this for the whole thread.

As for your claim that ND plays a "waiting list" game, you might want to google that.  You have to thrown the last two admissions cycles out the window because of the pandemic.  For example, in 2020 nearly half of Wash U's entering class was admitted off the wait list.  According to the Common Data Set for ND, before the pandemic it never admitted more than 5 percent of incoming students from the wait list and in several recent years it didn't take anyone from the wait list at all.

You're right about Vanderbilt, though.  It looks like they routinely take quite a few applicants from the WL.[/quote]
The point is out of the peer schools it's probably the easiest to get into. Vandy, Rice, Emory, WashU, Georgetown, Cornell all have lower acceptance rates. No UVA isn't a peer school. [/quote]

Higher acceptance rates don't necessarily mean a school is easier to get into.  What matters are the stats of admitted students.  ND's stats compare very well with Georgetown and Emory at a minimum. [/quote]
