The acceptance rates of the
Universities is based on the ratio of the number of admits given and the number
of applicants to the particular University . Hence, the figures mentioned are
only an indication of the percentage of students admitted. If a University has
large number of seats and number of applications are less, naturally, its
acceptance ratio will be very very high.
