The list is obviously bunk since it doesn't have UVA

Colby, for example, would not be yield more than ND if not for ED.

Schools with no ED (please them) get dinged in this.

2,3,4 and 5 don’t have ED.

Testament to how far ahead those 4 are of everyone.

UC schools are top notch, especially Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD.

Where are all the NEU haters - #27

Maybe someday they'll realize that times, and schools, change!

Crazy, Minerva has 25 students!

Minerva University (formerly Minerva Schools at Keck Graduate Institute) is a private online university headquartered in San Francisco, California.[1] It was established in 2012 by Ben Nelson using $25 million in venture funding from Benchmark Capital. All classes are conducted as online seminars capped at 19 students. Students travel to and live in a new country each semester, starting their education in San Francisco, USA, and then living in Seoul-South Korea, Taipei-Taiwan, Hyderabad-India, Bueno Aires-Argentina, London-UK, Berlin-Germany and then ending their program in San Francisco, USA.

*bless them, not please them.

Minerva recruits internationally and has a very very simple (I think free?) application process, so they get a lot of international applicants

Am I the only one who's never heard of Minerva? Or Stanbridge??

So, all Ivies on top. Not a surprise.

The selectivity index is a rating system that looks at the percentage of accepted students who enroll (yield rate) divided by the overall acceptance rate. It’s a measurement of both the selectivity and desirability of the college or university.
