What is Acceptance Rate?

Acceptance rate is calculated a ratio of number of applicants accepted and number of application received. A low acceptance rate signifies that the institution extends admission only to a small number of applicants compared to the applications received and a high acceptance rate signifies that the institution extends admission to a large number of applicants compared to the applications received.

A common misconception is that a college with high acceptance rate is a safe bet and will be easy to get into. This may not be the case. read more
