[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the majority of schools outside the top 20, the best tool for looking at selectivity is to look at three: the 25th-75th percentile of test scores, mean GPA and acceptance rate. Each of these can be gamed, but acceptance rate is the most in the college's control and most gamed.[/quote] Yes, but when speaking of a school and it's own historical selectivity, which is the premise of the thread, it is a far worse tool as standardized testing baselines have been reset so many times it is massively misleading. The OP was clearly asking about schools whose acceptance rates are increasing. [/quote]
