<p>Keep in mind that when it comes to ACADEMIC selectivity- you can’t just look at acceptance rates… you have to look at the quality of students who are accepted and the non-academic focus many universities place on college admissions…compare University of Chicago and Boston College. It’s undeniable that Chicago is more selective academically even though BC has the lower acceptance rate- many applicants who can get into BC fairly easily have no chance of being accepted to Chicago.</p>
