<p>Carleton is more selective than BC and significantly more so than Case Western. 75th% M+CR = 1490 (same as JHU, Georgetown, CMU; higher than Wesleyan, Middlebury, Vanderbilt, Bowdoin). Carleton is 6th highest among all LACs and universities in alumni PhDs per capita for all disciplines. </p>
<p>Harvard v. Carleton is not a very fitting cross-admit contest. The more appropriate question is, how many applicants choose it over Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams, Pomona, etc.? It is easily the most selective and arguably the best LAC for hundreds of miles in any direction, so presumably quite a few do.</p>
