In Reply To: ...according to the Wesleyan homepage. And while that's not as tough to get into as say, Harvard and Yale's 11% acceptance rate or so, it puts Wes in the same league as Columbia and Swarthmore, and it's considerably lower than Wellesley's and Haverford's acceptance rates of 39% and 42% (both which made the top 5 in US news last year, I think).
Message: CU = 13 Yale = 16 Chicago = 50 or so All of which are top 10 schools, yet they have different acceptance rates! Acceptance rates are nice, but I think the more important one would be yield, which is the number of accepted people that enroll. That shows that people *want* to go there.
