<p>That is crazy...how is WUSTL #6!! And how is Penn so high?</p>
<p>By being totally awesome? ;)</p>
<p>For WUSTL... by waitlisting you!</p>
<p>"umm. I know for a fact Yale was more selective than Harvard last year."</p>
<p>umm, no you don't. realize that selectivity is a composite of many factors, including acceptance rate, high school class standing, and SAT scores. see:</p>
<p>how isn't Rice there??? ru kidding????</p>
<p>oh ok, selectivity and acceptance percentage are not the same thing?</p>
<p>what are the other ones in the top 25?</p>
<p>Oh, actually, rice is 10. Sorry I made an error there. </p>

<p>From USNEWS:</p>
<p>Student selectivity (15 percent). A school's academic atmosphere is determined in part by the abilities and ambitions of the student body. We therefore factor in test scores of enrollees on the SAT or ACT tests (50 percent of the selectivity score); the proportion of enrolled freshmen who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school classes for all national universities and liberal arts colleges, and the top 25 percent for institutions in the master's and comprehensive colleges categories (40 percent); and the acceptance rate, or the ratio of students admitted to applicants (10 percent). The data are for the fall 2004 entering class.</p>
<p>wow.....Nwestern is at 19, is that a joke behind Berklely, Gtown, Emory, UCLA...is that a joke?</p>
<p>Interesting to see this too...Penn must have a really high percentage in the top 10% of their class to be ranked so high in selectivity, as its scores are lower than many of the schools after it. </p>
