<p>This year was Carleton’s most selective in its history. It had the most applicants, the lowest acceptance rate, and the highest grades and test scores of entering students ever. This is while the number of applicants remained steady or fell at other top institutions (don’t know if this includes Williams). This certainly should speak to the high caliber of the institution you are attending PolarBearVsShark, and by no means is Williams in a higher tier than Carleton.
