| No offense to Brigham Young, but as it is considered THE school for Mormon college students, it would make sense that they would have a very high yeild. It's a different circumstance that changes what the figures mean.
What I mean is, if you are looking to go to a good quality Mormon school, and you get in to BYU, odds are you are going to go, because there is no other contender. If you are looking to go to a top-tier liberal arts school and you get into Harvard, well... there are lots of fantastic liberal arts schools.
It's like how "graduation rate within 5 years" means nothing at Northeastern because of their co-op program, or how some very very small schools with say, 100 people per class, are not included in rankings of "most selective" even though their acceptence rates are very low. Because of circumstances, you really can't compare the two.
Now really chicagoboy, I agree with guitars101. I don't understand what point you are trying to make, or why you care enough to make it. Go find the forum for the school you are actually going to, and help out there. Trolling is a pathetic waste of time. |
