How Selective Are Selective Private Colleges?
Lewis, Gary M.
Research in Higher Education, v29 n4 p319-42 Dec 1988

Results showed selectivity rankings varied greatly according to whether crude or adjusted acceptance rates were used. Adjusted rates reduced comparison problems for colleges with variable-quality applicant pools. (MSE)
