Bowdoin's acceptance rate is artificially deflated because of their  need blind policies for international students. They get about 3000 excess applications from international students because of this policy. The same issue holds for Williams, Amherst, the Ivies and other need blind for internationals schools. About 42-45% of Bowdoin's applications are international in a typical year. Domestic applicants have a 12% acceptance rate.

If you normalize of financial aid you will find that all of the top SLACs have a 10-12% admissions rate and the rate for the Ivies is 7-10%.[/quote]
This is an interesting way of looking at it. Amongst WASP, Amherst is the only one that is Need Blind for internationals. So by your logic its acceptance should actually be higher than what it seems to be. [/quote]

Not true, [b]Pomona is need blind for some international applicants abroad[/b] and all international applicants who went to school in the US. Swat and Bowdoin are completely need blind.[/quote]
What does that even mean and why wouldn’t they just go fully need blind then[/quote]
