So I have a question that may seem silly..
When you see that acceptance rates for a certain major is 40%, does that mean that 40% get accepted to some school, and that 60% don't get accepted anywhere at all, or do they average numbers from all the schools and get 40%. The latter would be for example, Bob got accepted at School A, and is part of that 40%, but not at school B, and is part of that 60% who didnt get accepted.
A little confused.
