I assume the acceptance rate is calculated only from those who meet the requirements. Why would you apply to a school you do not qualify for? I don't doubt it ever happens, but it would not account for the very low acceptance rates at many schools.

It would be a failure of the state educational system if they weren't qualified for college. Dealing with reality, most state colleges have a program to bootstrap students or it is heavily hinted they should attend community college for the first year or two to get their skills up.
- nostrebored 11y agoMost people I knew applied to at least one college they knew they were not qualified for. People I met from other high schools did not realize the difference in rigor (which most colleges keep large amounts of data on) and thus had no metric to determine which school they should go to.
