[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you should be looking at is the percentage of the freshmen class that is taken early decision.  This is what really skews the overall acceptance rates. That will show if the EA or RD rounds are all for show:

Percent of class taken EDI and/or EDII:

Barnard: 60% taken ED
Colby: 50% taken ED
Middlebury: 70% taken ED
Vanderbilt: 50% taken ED
Dartmouth:50% taken ED
Williams:46% taken ED
Brown: 50% taken ED
Duke: 46% taken ED
Wesleyan: 59%
Wash. U: 74%
BU: 57%
Emory: 68%
Johns Hopkins: 62%
Rice: 44%
BC: 58%
Pomona: 52%

Last year, NEU only took 34% ED

UChicago would be at the top of the list at probably 90%+ of the class taken from ED1&2. But they refuse to disclose the stats. Wonder why?!!!! lol. They game the system to the hilt to appear more selective and prestigious. [/quote]

Source for fact that 90% of UChicago's freshmen class is taken ED?  Even if that is true, it is highly prestigious.  Look at the average SAT scores, outcomes, med school admissions, law school admissions.  It is one of the top colleges in the world, not just the US.[/quote]
