| I am not a statistics-oriented person. I want to know facts, and what I see here are lots of questions which make me question the validity of the numbers. Such as noted above, nothing has been done about taking into account the type of student body as in U v. LAC, etc. What I would really like to know if the percentages of students from each school who applied to these programs and were accepted. That would tell me a lot more than these. If school A had only 15 apply, and all 15 were accepted, that would mean more to me than school B had 500 apply, and 25 made it. B would beat out A in these numbers, but A would beat out B in my book. |
