<p>First, I want to apologize that when I posted the acceptance rate earlier for Northwestern, I had written: 22.6 and that was an error in my typing as I meant to type 26.2. I got this acceptance rate right off NU’s own site but it was for the class or 2012.</p>
<p>Now, I see the article you posted that has the rate for class of 2013 at 27%. Oddly, however, the article states that the acceptance rate went up 8 percentage points over the previous year and their site has 26.2 % for the previous year. Hmm. In any case, their “fast facts” on their site are not updated for class of 2013. </p>
<p>Well, the point still stands that it is not as selective odds as someone surmised when estimating them at 15%.</p>
