Most selective colleges based on SATs

<p>

At the time I was applying for college, Princeton’s acceptance rate was something like 15%. But at Berkeley, the admissions rate for international applicants was something less than 7%. Yes, that’s how selective Berkeley was for international applicants and it’s an honor to be accepted at Berkeley at that time. I applied to Berkeley but I wasn’t lucky.

<p>Why comparing the overall admission of Princeton to Berkely’s international or OOS admission rates? Why not compare apples to apples? International admissions vary tremendously among schools that offer financial aid for foreigners, are need-blind or need-aware, or simply offer littleto no help to foreigners at the undergraduate level. What is the percentage of admission for internationals at Princeton? </p>

<p>Comparing Princeton 15% overall admission to a well-selected international rate does NOT provide a meaningful data point.</p>
