What is considered a low/ high acceptance rate?

<p>For example, one of the colleges i am really interested in, Smith college, has an acceptance rate or 45 %. In my opinion, this is a rather high rate for a prestigious LAC. Yet, i have also read from various other sites that it is a particularly hard school to get into. So, can you please clear this up for me, i'm really just wondering if i have a chance to get in. Thanks :)</p>

<p>The numbers are a bit interesting. It seems the 43% number is accepted but only 35% of the 43% actually attend so it looks to be a bit the safety school for the Ivy league crowd. Bottom line is that it’s a hard school to get into but not Ivy league hard.</p>
