Thank you for all of your insight. Many of you seem to think such statistics are not relevant. I, on the other hand, look at any statistics as good statistics. Yes, such stats may not at first glance give an accurate idea of the difficulty of getting into a school, but combined with the many other stats provided by the graduate school, one could get a much better idea of the likelihood of getting accepted at any given institution. I like transparency - and without all the information - I am a little left in the dark by some of these schools.

Hello - I have a question that has bothered me for some time: Why is it so difficult to find admissions statistics for graduate programs in English? If I apply to a school, I'd like to know my chances of getting into that school. Does anyone have any insight into my dilemma(i.e. where to locate admission rates, why schools don't publish admission rates, etc)? Or, even better, does anyone have representative admission rates for Ph.D. programs? Thanks for the help.
