<p>Even though our HS Naviance indicates that NU is more selective, the broader measures indicate more parity. With a midpoint SAT score (of the 25% - 75% range) within 1.5 % or 30 points (2188 UC vs 2158 NU) and a projected 2011 admission rate within a couple points 17% UC vs 19% NU (indicated as <20% by NU), I think it would be difficult to make a convincing argument that either of these schools is a significantly more challenging admission than the other.</p>
