<p>does anyone know for sure waht the acceptance rate is a w nd l? collegeboard says 17% while usa today collge rankings say 27%. needless to say this is a gigantic difference. does anyone know for sure what is correct? i cant find anything about it on w nd l's own website.</p>
<p>Use the attached link to W&L's common data set and look at Section C, which provides the number of students applying and accepted for the past several years</p>
<p>Common</a> Data Set</p>
<p>I think last year it was around 15-16%</p>
<p>midwesterndad's data set puts it more around the 27% mark. why do u think its was around 15-16, lindz? do u have ne evidence? im honestly curious cuz it seems kinda strange that collegeboard would just be blatantly wrong, but it would be more strange if this common data set thing were wrong so idk.</p>
