[quote=Anonymous] [/quote] Columbia GS is Columbia GS, not Columiba "proper", we all know that, why include the transfer rate of Columbia GS?[/quote] A proper measure of selectivity would have to include transfer rates, percentage of “Spring admissions” — everything. Now, you can argue that selectivity should not be a criterion. But if it is, you can’t compare a high selectivity standard that applies to only 50% of a school’s total student body (very high proportion of transfers), then apply it to 75% of students at another school (moderately high proportion of transfers), and then apply it to 95% of yet another school (with a tiny transfer rate). This is not about just Columbia; the data would need to be smoothed out for all schools.[/quote]
