[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Towards the bottom of T30 schools are not extremely selective such as UF, WF, UNC, UVA. 
Some T50 schools are more selective than these. 
The first cut off would be T25

This is so out of touch and wrong it’s not funny.  UNC has an OOS acceptance rate of 8%.  UVA has an OOS acceptance rate of 12%.  [/quote]

Just for OOS, 12% is still higher than Tufts and 8% is still higher than Northeastern.

Yes, other extremely selective schools are also extremely selective [/quote]

Those schools are mainly for in-state students.  
Around 25% for instate.  1 out of 4 gets in.  
It's not considered [b]extremely selective [/b]overall.

[/quote]

Until you look at stats required.  Only 25% of people who are in the top 5% of stats get in.  You need to do two layers of math when thinking about selectivity.[/quote]

Of course, extremely selective schools have both extremely low acceptance rate and very very high stat kids as you said.
UVA and UNC don't have extremely low acceptance rate with relatively very high stat kids, but again even their stats are lower than some of the T50 schools.
