[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Six ways colleges can game their rankings numbers: Www.propublica.org/article/the-admission-arms-race-six-ways-colleges-can-game-their-numbers[/quote] nice article. I have to commend Georgetown (not an alum) in staying away from common app. It's easy for MIT to do so given the strength, ranking, and world wide name recognition of the school while maintaining a sub 10% acceptance rate but for Georgetown to stay disciplined instead of playing the acceptance rate game is refreshing. I hypothesize that if Gtown went to the common app, they could drive acceptance rates down by at-least 5 points in one admissions cycle. [/quote] I didn't realize that some colleges track your interest, and the likelihood you'll commit to them, by counting your visits to their website. So that's how DC got into the Ivy - DC was stalking them.[/quote]
