[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that even T100 schools are pretty difficult to get into these days.[/quote] Also remember that for a lot of school selectivity is really about who is "hot" in the moment due to social buzz and marketing efforts: schools are "hot" or "not" within the span a few years with zero change in the academics or marketability of the degree. Similarly many schools are niche for one reason or another (location, unique program aspects that may not be appealing to everyone, religion, etc.), and so the applicant pool is self-selecting, which lowers the "selectivity number" but has zero bearing on how good the school is academically and re: marketability. How many other kids are applying is a fairly useless data point for choosing a school, though it might be a reason not to apply to some given the over popularity limiting admissions probability.[/quote]
