Similar ranks, different acceptance rates

But from the perspective of the enrolled student, what difference does it make? As you indicated, if you enroll at either school, you will be among fellow students with similarly high stats. </p>

<p>Your college experience, at any school, is obviously affected by your fellow students. But only the students who enroll. So the quality of enrolled students is an important consideration.

<p>It does. School A can pick great students with something extra, whether it’s sport (I know, highly unlikely) or musical talent, or feeding brown children over the summer. School B does not have this option. </p>

<p>Enrolled students in school A, IMO, are a bit more interesting. They offer a lot more to the school besides academia.</p>
