[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. There's a lot of self selection going on. The population applying to Ivies only slightly overlaps the one applying to, say, Mississippi State or Washington State. Acceptance rate is an oversimplification at best and misleading at worst.[/quote] If 10 people apply to a college, but only ONE gets accepted, the college is selective. You can parse all of the nuances ( but..but TO! But....but ED!), but bottom line is that again very small amount of those who WANT admission actually gets accepted. Also, there isn't necessarily a direct correlation between acceptance rate and "prestige." [/quote] +1 [/quote]
