What is considered a high acceptance rate?

<p>I am not too sure how to phrase this. The school I am looking at, last year had appx. 44,000 applicants and appx. 21,000 were accepted. Is this close to 50% strict, fair, or easy?</p>

<p>I would say fair. Why does it matter?</p>

<p>No clue why it matters. I already applied and now I am nervous, and am crunching numbers to see my likelihood of getting accepted. I guess you could say I am doing the same thing as the people who have pointless jobs figuring out and predicting the likelihood of a candidate winning an election. It’s not like they are doing anything, but it is nice to know.</p>
