Why does Hopkins have such a high acceptance rate?

I don’t want to say that this is why, but looking at the numbers says something. Take Columbia for example. Last year, they enrolled 1857 students, which is about 500 more than Hopkins enrolled last year (and Hopkins actually over-enrolled). Columbia admitted 2496 students, compared to Hopkins admitting 4318. Now Columbia also had about 9,000 more applicants so when you combine that with the yield, you get a rough idea.
