<p>^Agree for the most part…except for these:</p>
<p>Caltech: Reject.
Berkeley- Reject (only because very very few internationals get accepted each year in comparison with other top tier colleges)
Brown: Accepted</p>
<p>Interesting, I didn’t know that about Berkeley. Brown I was hesitant becuase their admissions rate is so low, maybe it’s simply the result of lack of self-selection among applicants.</p>
<p>^It is not because of a lack of self selection in the applicants; Brown has statistics on its applicant pool, one such statistic being that 93% of applicants for the class of 2014 (not accepted students) were in the top 10% of their class–that is a higher percentage than many top colleges’ accepted student bodies.</p>
<p>Cornell is generally considered the best engineering program in the Ivies and is highly selective. It is definitely not less selective than Penn. For the Cornell Engineering Class of 2014, 96% of those admitted were in the top 10% of their HS class, and the mid-50% SAT range was 1410-1550.
Penn doesn’t disclose much admissions data for its individual colleges.</p>
