Absolutely kk19131. In the case of U Chicago, its applicants are extremely self-selecting, so the high admissions rate is due to the fact that so many of its applicants are top caliber, and they know that they are a good match for the school. In addition, since its appeal is more narrow, they get less applicants who just apply there “because its a good school or a top-ranked university”. This is why Chicago’s acceptance rate is 40%, but in reality the school is as selective as many of its academic peers.
