The ignorance in this thread is truly amazing. Acceptance rate is just a percentage of those that apply to those that are admitted. Each school only has so many slots for incoming students. Most high school grads will apply to multiple universities knowing that they may not get accepted by all of them. Some get accepted by all that they apply to. Then they have a decision to make. Others may only get accepted at one school and only have one choice where they are going to go.

Trying to make an argument as to how good or bad a university is based on its acceptance is pretty f'ing stupid.

I do think think that these numbers are a little skewed because I know that Auburn does acceptance in three waves.

There is early acceptance where nearly 90% of these kids are accepted. They are the ones that already has their stuff in order ACT and GPA.

Now I will say that they have other options so they are accepted by 3-5 school, so maybe only 40% will end up at Auburn.

Then the 2nd wave goes out and they see who is accepted and then the waitlist is worked.

Auburn typically only takes in between 4600-5200 freshman per year.
