This chart compares the acceptance rate and graduation rate. Universities with lower acceptance rates tend to have higher graduation rates. Harvard and Princeton both have a 98% graduation rate, reflecting their strong academic support and selective admissions.
Harvard has the highest endowment at $53.2 billion, far exceeding MIT's $27.4 billion. This indicates that wealthier institutions may have more resources for research, scholarships, and infrastructure.
MIT has the highest average SAT score at 1530, while Yale has the lowest at 1500. This suggests that MIT may attract students with stronger standardized test performance, likely due to its emphasis on STEM fields.
