<p>Only switched Georgetown and UMich because someone from my school was rejected after applying to Georgetown early but accepted to UMich... when you send your application to UMich also affects how hard it is to get in.</p>
<ol>
<li>UCLA. Less than 5% of students are out of state, so I imagine the the spots are VERY competitive, though I don't know %s. (Overall is 24%.)</li>
<li>UVa. I attend this school from out of state. When I applied I was told the admit rate was 21% for out of state students.</li>
<li> Penn. Their early decision admit rate is 45%. Regular is 21%.</li>
<li>Georgetown. 21% admitted.</li>
<li>Northwestern. 30% admitted.</li>
<li>Boston College. 31% admitted.</li>
<li>Emory. 37% admitted.</li>
<li>NYU. 37% admitted, but lower average SATs.</li>
<li>Michigan. 60% admitted, and though I'm not sure about the % for out-of-staters, the average SATs and GPAs suggest that it is not TOO terribly difficult to get admitted. I applied here and it was a match for me, while UVA and Georgetown were reaches.</li>
</ol>
<p>Semiserious makes the mistake of having acceptance rates=selectivity (does anyone believe that Northwestern and BC are even close in selectivity?). And while he's doing that, he still doesn't even get some acceptance rates anywhere close (NYU admits 29%, Penn's ED rate was 28% this year and was 33% for several years before that...it hasn't been 45% in a long time).</p>

<p>You guys place way too much emphasis on admit rate.</p>
<p>With reasoning like that, UChicago would be near the bottom of this list too, while it reality its one of the most selective schools in the country and would be at or near the top of this list.</p>
<p>it's called a self-selecting applicant pool.</p>
<p>USNews has a selectivity ranking. Someone pull that up.</p>
<p>slipper's list is good. I would combine 3 with 4 and 5 with 6 and 7 (for OOS)</p>

<p>Lol, Emory over Northwestern? Yeah right! No way.</p>
<p>I'm just using USNews 2004 Selectivity Rankings for the schools they asked for.</p>

<p>*OOS at the privates should help you, especially nyu</p>
<p>Northwestern is the most selective of these.</p>
<p>Penn has a much lower acceptance rate (by 10-12%), a higher median SAT, and a higher % of students in the top 10% of their classes. How is NU more selective?</p>
