{Smith is about as difficult to get into as say, the University of Illinois}

How do you figure that? Smith ACT 25-30 Admission rate 47 % class of 09.
University of Illinois…….ACT20-25 Admission rate 62%

Smith has a self-selecting app pool such as UChicago–admit rate 45%… It’s much more difficult to be admitted to both than the admission % would lead you to believe. Don’t let the stats fool you.
