	or you could type UNC, which is even faster.

	Very surprised the service academies are not here. The year I went to Navy they accepted one out of 15 or so and our class was still 1,200+. I bet super small and largely free schools are not included in this survey, like Webb Institute of Naval Architecture (100 students) and Cooper Union (under 400). (When I left Navy and went to Webb, the acceptance rate was 1/18--and it's FREE). Dollars to donuts their accepted student enrollment rates are over 70%. There are surely others like that I am not aware of. Also surprised Duke is not here. I have a friend who went to Harvard undergrad and Duke grad and she said that by FAR everyone she knows identifies themselves as a Duke person. She was blue blue blue. The giant public Univs I would think accept a huge number of people. Then again, when you have to fill 10,000 seats for entering class.... I'd also expect top engineering schools (Harvey Mudd? Cal Tech?) to be here. Lots of schools have good Eng programs, but if an Eng degree is your sole focus and you get in, it's hard to say no. Oh well, this was still fun.

	Okay, checked the source and a ton of my guesses were in the next tier--Stevens Tech, NJIT, Duke, Cal tech, UW, Wisconsiin, Berkeley, Michigan, NYU, Vandy, W&M. And the "Most Popular" phrase was taken from the source article and may not reflect the quiz author's views.

	I wonder what percent of students that didn't enroll at (x) Ivy League School choose another Ivy League school instead.

	vegemighty:	Oct 27th, 2011 at 08:35 GMT	6 points
	@Bobman - I tried them as well. I remember back when I was getting turned down by the Naval Academy reading that their yield was somewhere in the neighborhood of 99%, and usually above that. But you'll notice that all of the answers save MIT and Dartmouth include the word "University". All of these (including those two) are proper universities that grant PhDs. Schools like Harvey Mudd and Navy that are strictly Bacherlor's Degree institutions are left out.

	Most of my guesses were football teams. That's why I missed MIT.
