Apples and oranges. You can’t compare the acceptance rates of early action and early decision universities. The very low regular acceptance rates of Harvard (5.47%) and Yale (6.42%), for example, are balanced by their relatively high (19-21%) early action acceptance rates.

Besides, acceptance rates can be a very misleading measure of selectivity.
