| Seriously, you guys have this whole thing mixed up:
A. The acceptance rate DOES NOT matter, it is something completely out of your hands, so why bother with it? (you should focus on your personal stats instead). It really does not tell you much about your chances/ w.e. you are trying to get out of it. For example, Harvard accepts say 1/10 applicants, but that is mainly because SO many people apply qualified or not..(you get the idea?)There are a lot of variables in acceptance rate so it is quite pointless.
B. With the new system, I think its a small step in the right direction but we should focus on what UM defines as a "neighborhood": this is what is key. If you live in a middle class neighborhood and you are relatively poor, it really doesnt matter, you are still poor... |
