<p>Was checking out petersons:</p>
<p>A school that accepted 24% of applicants was moderately difficult</p>
<p>A school that accepted 50% of applicants was very difficult</p>
<p>K- that is extremely helpful</p>
<p>Just shows that adjectives in college admissions statistics are meaningless</p>
<p>on yeah, and one school that accepts 90%- was moderately difficult</p>
<p>another, accepted 37% was most difficult, so 24% is easier than 37% - okey dokey</p>
<p>So RPI accepts 75% of the kids who apply. Is is easy to get into? Their applicant pool has much, much higher SAT scores than most schools. It’s easy to get into if you fit the profile, but not so easy if you don’t.</p>
<p>Self-selection plays a large role for some schools, as well.</p>
<p>I get that part, but calling a school that accepts 90% the same diffuclty level as one that accepts 25% cannot be right…and a schiool in between very difficult…who acceptance is smack dab in the middle</p>
