People just don’t understand the things of which admissions rates are reflective. It has very little to do with how “good” a school is, especially seeing how admissions rates are mostly a function of expected yield and total applicants. While yes, most schools that people consider to be elite and prestigious do indeed have admissions rates under 30%, nothing about a rate in itself is indicative of the academic strength (or even prestige) of a school.
