Reply to "UPenn had a 47% acceptance rate for the Class of '95, it's not that much of a flex to be a legacy."

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All colleges in the 80s and 90s were extremely easy admits compared to now. Focusing on Penn is silly. They were all like this.[/quote] Stanford’s class of “89 had a 10% admittance rate. Not so easy in 1985.[/quote] No it didn't. In the 1980s, Stanford’s acceptance rate was in the range of 15% to 20%.[/quote] I beg to differ. Admissions Dean, Jean Fetter, wrote to us in her acceptance letter, that for the class of 1989, they received 17,000 applications and accepted 1,700 students.[/quote] NP, jumping in here. Seems more likely that there were 1700 enrolled in the class, not 1700 acceptances. This type of language, that ignores how many were accepted and simply states how many seats there were in the class, is a common tactic used in acceptance letters to make the recipients feel good by implying a ridiculously low acceptance rate.[/quote]
