<p>Another way to look at our selectivity in relation to our peer institutions is that we are getting several of the same applicants as to Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, etc. but our school is still bigger than theirs, and thus we need to admit more people to take up those extra spots. Therefore, it isnt exactly fair to say that those schools are more selective, when we are receiving similar numbers of applications with more availability to accept more of those students.</p>
