<p>I just got the new 361 book in the mail... and its completely retarded. the facts arent at ALL reliable. heres vanderbilt: Selectivity: 60, Academics: 72</p>

<p>and heres stanford: % of applicants accepted: 57% yeah right!
stanford average highschool GPA: 3.45
average SAT Verbal: 651
average SAT Math: 616</p>

<p>ucla got rated 75 for academics.</p>

<p>UC-Santa Cruz got an admissions selectivity rating of 93, while stanford got 89. riverside got a 92.</p>

<p>university of arizona got 61 academics with 60 selectivity... if it sucks that bad whys it in the book...</p>

<p>does amazon have a return policy on **** like this?</p>

<p>Wow. That's crazy.</p>

<p>I am not so sure that all of your complaints are errors but rather you need to evaluate what you are looking at. In state versus out of state rates for one.</p>

<p>like for what? by selectivity rating, im not talking about acceptance percentage, im talking about the score PR gives them on a scale of 60-99. Apparently Vanderbilt is the easiest to get into at a rating of 60, while MIT is the hardest with 99.</p>

<p>did anybody else buy this book?</p>

<p>I thihnk that if vanderbilt is 60, it probably means they didn't report all of their statistics to PR, so PR couldn't give them a selectivy number, and 60 is just sort of the default, but that's just my interpretation.</p>

<p>I agree with jmarsh. An older version of the book says that 60 is used when not everything was reported :)</p>

<p>Get your money back and put it toward a Fiske Guide.....something useful.</p>
