Don’t disagree with that at all, I just used that data point to suggest the poster’s tiering was inaccurate.
Acceptance rate data is also variable based on certain levers that colleges can pull like eliminating application fees, and/or supplemental essays, and/or going test optional. Although virtually all schools are TO this year, so we won’t see the typical effect that has on application volume.
Yield can be a good metric to look at when considering where a college might fall in accepted applicants’ prioritized lists.
