<p>Where are you getting this? That’s untrue on every single basis (accept rate, SAT scores, etc)!! </p>
<p>Dartmouth’s acceptance rate will be 13% this year, 3% lower than Penn. It has the highest average SAT after HYP (10 points less than Pton), highest percentage of Vals after HYP. Also Dartmouth tends to be self-selective. I’d put Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, and Penn in the same box. It depends on who you are (Penn is more selective in NYC and California for example, but less so in the midwest…while Dartmouth is tougher in New England).</p>
