<p>Anyone have a guess on this? It says 59% in Coollege Board’s site, but that’s from last year. Only thing I’ve heard is that the acceptance rate significantly dropped this year, but I am wondering by how much.</p>
<p>i think that it was in the mid to low 40's. not sure though.</p>
<p>It was right around 50 this year, much more selective than in the past. This should certainly boost our US News rank, not that such trivial rankings matter, but it is cool in a vain way.</p>
<p>^More or less every school on USNWR that I follow saw their admission rate drop this year. A rising tide often lifts all boats, but when the boats lift the same relative to each other, nothing really changes</p>
