[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]kinda useless because the numbers vary a lot within the same univ. between different schools/majors. [/quote] I think this is a very good list for what it is, though I would like it better if they were more nuanced in admissions rate ([b]taking into consideration schools that automatically wave fee or don't require essays[/b]) and test scores (wrt schools with over 60% TO). A large percentage on the list doesn't differentiate between schools and majors. If you are specifically targeting a CS program, then I agree that this isn't the list for you. Many of the people who don't like this list are not saying why. Remember, the OP ranked by "selectivity" and not "best" or something vaguer. I fully support Virginia Tech's and other schools' mission to help first-time college students. But to understand a colleges' selectivity in a tangible way, this list is helpful.[/quote] As pointed out yesterday at 13:06, that is a very silly thing to punish a college for - making it easier and cheaper for applicants. Particularly in a ranking that also includes academic data.[/quote] No, it isn't. If it is actually a hardship EVERY college will waive the fee. Making it so easy is a way to inflate the numbers and improve the admissions rate.[/quote]
