Admission Correlation?

<p>Is there any correlation between acceptances at Northwestern and the University of Chicago and the Ivies?</p>

<p>Even anecdotal data would suffice.</p>

<p>Warmest Regards,</p>

<p>Yes. All of the schools you mentioned are top schools, so they accept applicants of a similar caliber. Of course, they have varying rates of selectivity and varying qualities they’re looking for, but as an applicant accepted to any one of those schools will be an extremely strong applicant overall, that applicant would thus be more likely than other applicants to be accepted to the others.</p>

<p>Based purely on logic, it can be assumed that the admit rate at the Ivies given acceptance at Northwestern is larger than the overall admit rate.</p>
