[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Class of 2029. Georgetown acceptance rate 12%, yield 47%. Holy Cross acceptance rate 17%, yield 47%. By contrast. Gonzaga acceptance rate 80%, yield 16%. LMU 49% acceptance rate, yield 14%. Santa Clara acceptance rate48%, yield 17%. Clearly Georgetown and Holy Cross are extremely selective the others are nowhere near.[/quote] Admission statistics can be misleading. Holy Cross, for example, admits more than 60% of its class through Early Decision, which drives its acceptance rate down pushes its yield up. Holy Cross is not really "extremely selective" when you consider their ED acceptance rate is 67%! Admission stats in general are not great at revealing the quality of an education. As Northeastern and Tulane have proven, they can be tweaked to make schools seem more selective and gin up interest, but don't show anything about the quality of what happens while you're at the school.
