^^pretty much agree with alea…and also with Data10 (who has a knack of producing great statistical data) who posted this prediction recently:



from Data10…
If the trend decreases continue, then the class of 2018 admit rates would be approximately:

Stanford – 5.1%
Harvard – 5.6%
Yale – 6.4%
Chicago – 6.8%*
Princeton – 6.8%
Columbia – 6.9%
MIT – 7.6%
Brown – 9%
Caltech – 9.6%
*Chicago admit rate has been decreasing far more rapidly than any other college on this list



Unfortunately for all the Stanford dream-schoolers out there…the acceptance rate will be somewhere between 5.1 to 5.24 this coming year…and due to the zeitgeist of where the top students want to study and settle down (bay-area) in the future “after” college…Stanford will continue to have the toughest/lowest acceptance rate in the years to come…
