<p>moviebuff: no I haven't but from the looks of it, you haven't either. Debates are supposed to be logical. What you are saying isn't logical. You are saying that two of the Ivy Leagues colleges (penn and brown) have essentially cut their acceptance rate in half in one year, which no college would in their right mind would do.</p>

<p>Also, Harvard didnt post a class size statistics, it posts an ACCEPTANCE RATE. Quite frankly, I think that Brown and Penn are posting class size to "impress" the students (who do no reason it through) with their "lower" acceptance rate. Harvard doesn't need to do that....its acceptance rate is already low.</p>

Harvard, the world's richest university, said Thursday a record 22,955 students applied for a spot in the Class of 2011. Of those, just 2,058 were accepted -- an [bold]admission rate[/bold] of 9 percent, the lowest in school history.

<p>but why does all of this matter...theyre all good schools. It's not like you're enthusiasm about brown having a lower rate than harvard would change anything.</p>

<p>3-8th are estimates. But it's pretty much guaranteed they fall in that order.</p>

<p>I cannot take another hypocritical liberal like yourself. How can I tell? I just can...</p>

<p>^^lol looks like someones a hater....don't be so harsh. why are you at brown if you hate liberals??? lawl</p>

25

<p>^^^^^^^^ LMAO </p>

<p>MomCanITransfer,..hahaha..I do hope your mommy lets you transfer out...Get ready....cause Brown...HERE I COME!!!!!!</p>

<p>(by the way..I will be the most conservative Brown student ever accepted. Maybe a sign of the times. I hope that George W Bush is the commencement speaker for the class of 2011. I am ready to start the petition drive.)</p>

<p>Movie, Harvard's numbers include acceptances! How hard is this to understand. S snack the 8.9% is for columbia college, Columbia blended (which is only fair, all other schools blend engineering into the other schools) will be 11-12% overall.</p>

<p>"...Out of the 22,955 students who applied to Harvard this year, 9 percent were accepted, compared with 9.3 percent last year. Brown’s acceptance rate was 13.5 percent, an 0.5 percent dip from last year. Columbia College admitted 8.9 percent of its applicants — down from last year’s 9.6 percent acceptance rate — while the university’s undergraduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences had an 18.1 percent acceptance rate. Overall, Columbia accepted 10.4 percent of its 21,343 applicants."</p>
