[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Acceptance rate is nearly a worthless stat now anyway. Just about all rankers realize it is junk and have removed it from their formulas. 
Schools wanted to seem so selective 20 years ago but went too far and now it is at the point that some no longer report on their acceptance rates so as not to deter the first gen and less confident kids they want applying.[/quote]

No one applying cares anymore now that the acceptance rates at the top privates are all sub 10%.  Being 9% vs 4% is immaterially different.[/quote]
I would say it is “material” to the 5% extra who have been admitted. Perhaps you meant something else, but I ain’t your language tutor.[/quote]

The level of condescension on here is funny.  You have a Ph.D. from MIT and work for Google in DC as well? No, I didn't think so.

Anything sub 10% is a lottery.  Thinking your changes are significantly higher in a vast pool of applicants is foolish.[/quote]
I certainly won’t condescend to further respond to linguistic gobbledygook, but might I suggest you use AI for “self”-improvement?[/quote]
