<p>That’s true, Curmudgeon, we need to make up a better, more flexible set of terms to reflect relative selectivity. My son will likely be looking at Rhodes in a couple of years, and for him it will be a reach, with much rejoicing if he managed to be admitted. The degree of selectivity is the same, but has different implications for each person. As you know well, a need for merit aid can change the relative selectivity, too.</p>
