[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone noticed that some of the best (but not “very best”) public universities still have high acceptance rates in 2025?

Two of the most shocking are Illinois and Washington, some of the best research stem schools with global brands, but the acceptance rate is 40%.

UT Austin’s acceptance rate is 30%, and had many great departments across the board, most of which match or surpass UVa/UNC

Wisconsin is the most shocking of all, with a 40% acceptance rate, despite a distinguished history.

If you put any of these “A-“ publics up against privates such as Vanderbilt or Washu, they are academically competitive but the acceptance rate for the ladder two are much lower. [/quote]
UT oos admit rate is about 5%. Way tougher oos admit than UVA, Michigan, or the Cal schools…[/quote]

Who cares...their overall is over 30%.[/quote]

Don’t be an idiot. In state accounts for 80% of the admitted students. And guess what you knucklehead. 90% of those are kids in the top 6% of their Texas HS. If you are not , then you are most likely not applying to UT. OMG…[/quote]

over 30% overall acceptance rate and 50% in-state.  Sorry, not elite.[/quote]

Explain why acceptance rate matters. Seriously, and be specific. [/quote]
