[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to say both schools will have a range of smarts depending on where the applicants are from. A friends daughter from New York was rejected from Richmond  while she knew several kids from other states with much lower stats in every way that were accepted. Every university needs a range and if you’re coming from a competitive area then the acceptance rates are lower. Doesn’t mean every student at Richmond will be smarter than every student at Elon.[/quote]

But 9/10 will be smarter [/quote]

Perhaps you missed this earlier in the thread:

"The last year test scores were required by either was 2019. According to the CDS from that year for each:

Elon's SAT ran from 1170-1330, which is 77th percentile to 93rd percentile. The median is around the 85th percentile.

Richmond's ran from 1300-1450, which is 91st to 99th percentile. The median is around the 95th percentile.

25% of Elon's students are therefore close to, at, or above the median at Richmond."

So not only will 9/10 not be smarter (assuming you're referring to testing ability), but 25% of Elon students are smarter than half of Richmond's students.

Most people who get into both will not choose Elon. It’s not as if it’s a much less expensive state school. So the kids who can actually get into U of R will likely go there over Elon.  [/quote]

I went to Elon as it was cheaper than UMass (my in-state option) and UR. Am I the idiot for choosing the most cost-effective option for my situation?[/quote]
