[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]A university with a 26% acceptance rate isn't considered prestigious. [/quote][/b] No one who knows what they are talking about compares the acceptance rate of publics against those of privates. Publics have a very different mission than privates. Publics also usually don't play up to mess with the USN&WR factors like U of Chicago and others are doing. Publics usually don't care about yield (another factor in the rankings). Finally, the public high school counselor system is set up to feed the most appropriate public high school students to the most appropriate public university, so much self-selection is done at the high school application level that is not done for privates.[/quote]
