How do you think about acceptance rate?

NiceUnparticularMan:

So, say if you like Wesleyan as a Reach, maybe you also apply to Connecticut College as a Target (with merit potential). And I am not discouraging that.

But if you feel like it, maybe you also add St Olaf as potentially a Likely (depending on your qualifications). Because my bet is the sorts of kids who are reaching for Wesleyan will be less likely to have St Olaf on their list too, and I think that is potentially going to help you get a good option to consider.

That is wrong on so many levels.
