<p>Would appreciate-a table is not avaliable at the premium site.</p>
<p>As would I. With actual statistics alongside.</p>
<p>Is it something you have to pay for? Show me where. I might sign up.</p>
<p>OK, i signed up. what do u want to know?</p>
<p>i’m also curious as to what the top 15-20 schools sorted by selectivity are this year.</p>
<p>From running school to school in the premium volume the Selectivity rank appears to be as follows:
Yale
Princeton
Harvard
MIT
Cal Tech
Penn
WashU STL
Columbia
Brown
Stanford
Dartmouth
Georgetown
Duke</p>
<p>Did you do it for LACs?</p>
<p>No, afraid not.</p>
<p>Yale is on the top…Why?</p>
<p>Why not?</p>
<p>ten char</p>
<p>National universities sorted by “Selectivity Rank”:
- Yale
- Harvard; Princeton; Caltech; MIT
- Penn; WUSTL
- Columbia
- Stanford; Brown
- Dartmouth
- Duke; G’town
- UC-Berkeley
- Chicago; Northwestern; Cornell; Emory; Notre Dame</p>
<p>LAC:
- HMC
- Swarthmore; Pomona; Haverford
- Williams
- Middlebury; CMC; Washington and Lee
- Amherst; Bowdoin
- Davidson
- Carleton
- Wellesley
- Vassar; Barnard
- Wesleyan; Oberlin
- Colgate; Hamilton; Bucknell</p>
<p>What does ‘selectivity’ mean? I assume it doesn’t refer to acceptance rate.</p>
<p>not sure exactly, but a mix of acceptance rate, matriculation rate, and something else</p>
<p>Wesleyan’s selectivity ranking sounds too low.</p>
<p>US news says test scores worth 50%, acceptance rate 10%, and “top-10% in HS” 40%. Yet, the ranking order reflects more about the top-10% in HS than test scores. Duke, Chicago, Northwestern have noticeably higher SAT ranges than G’town. WUSTL’s SAT is significantly higher than Penn’s and at least 8 schools ranked after Penn have higher SAT range than Penn. Go figure!</p>
