[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they apply ED1 or ED2? Were they a sports recruit? A legacy? Did they do an optional interview or video? What was their unweighted GPA? Did they have "most demanding" rigor? Did they submit SAT/ACT? Did they show a lot of demonstrated interest?

These are not the 10 most selective SLACs. Colby, Davidson and Haverford have lower admit rates vs Wesleyan, Carleton and Middlebury. [/quote]

Barnard and Wellesly are more selective than Davidson and Haverford.[/quote]

Haverford and Davidson have slightly lower acceptance rates than Wellesley for the classes of 2028 and 2029.  Not that it matters, but it sure seems like many posters here submit information based on their personal opinions/feelings rather than facts.  [/quote]
+1 facts matter. Data is readily available so there’s no reason for these errors.[/quote]

Depends on how you want to interpret the data. This past year Haverford and Davidson have admissions rates similar to Middlebury for example. But, traditionally Middlebury has a lower acceptance rate than either so is it a point in time or over time? I believe that the smae holds for Carleton though I didn't look it up.[/quote]

Admission rate doesn't tell the whole story either. Some schools have higher admit rates but the same caliber of students. You have to look at multiple data points to get the whole picture. [/quote]
