Twelve percent acceptance rate? I think not.

You can be a top-tier school and still have a high acceptance rate. Frankly, a 30% acceptance rate is still not that high. They still rejected 2/3 of their applicants. Public universities such as UMichigan have even higher acceptance rates (49%ish). They accept based upon projected yield rates. Some schools have lower acceptance rates because they assume those accepted would automatically matriculate to their schools.
