Selectivity Rate

Selectivity rate refers to the percentage of applicants who are admitted to a program or institution out of the total number who apply. It measures how competitive or selective the process is. For example, a college with a low selectivity rate admits a small percentage of applicants, indicating high competitiveness, while a higher rate suggests the school accepts a larger share of applicants. This metric helps applicants evaluate how difficult it might be to gain acceptance and gives institutions an idea of their competitiveness.
