Hey guys, I'm doing some research on college admissions statistics and I came across 'admit rate' and 'acceptance rate' - aren't they the same thing? Can someone help me understand the difference, if there is any?
Hello! In the context of college admissions, "admit rate" and "acceptance rate" are often used interchangeably, and indeed refer to the same thing: both terms describe the percentage of applicants who are offered admission to a particular college or university.
I hope this helps clear up your confusion!
