[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This thread is incredibly unhelpful. [/b] Who would base their decision to apply to a school on this meaningless drivel?  It is only interesting from a position of curiosity.  [/quote]

?  It's a relevant piece of information. What interests me are the trends over time.  Many of the best schools are getting sooo selective. Not sure why, but this was a tough year for many highly qualified applicants.[/quote]

Does it? Or is it merely a reflection of the school’s marketing machine getting kids to apply since it is so much easier nowadays?  We see schools whose admission rate dropped due to an extra essay and what do they do? They remove the essay so they can get more applications to make themselves seem more selective. USWR should really drop admission % from their ranking methodology. A low admission %[b] alone [/b]is not an indication on how good a school is or its fit for your child.[/quote]

I think everyone agrees with that. But who looks makes their decisions based on this single piece of information alone.

BTW, you're very pedantic you know that?[/quote]
