Also important in determining selectivity are GPA and test scores.
If School A has an admit rate of 10%, average ACT of 29 and GPA of 3.7…
And School B has an admit rate of 13%, average ACT of 33 and GPA of 3.9…
Which is actually harder to get into?
(this is not meant to represent the relationship between Emory and Oxford. Last year the mean ACT at Emory was 32.3, while it was 31.7 at Oxford. Admit rates were in the low 20s for Emory and in the high 20s for Oxford. GPA was close, with a slight edge to Emory. It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out this year.)
