Nope. I'm talking about regular, R1 schools.

Source: Local state university in an interview. This came up during the issue of affirmative action. They pointed out (with actual statistics) on how most of them have open admission. The context was that admitting someone via affirmative action was not depriving anyone of a seat.

This was for "regular" undergrad admission. Grad school/business/law/medicine (perhaps pre-med) may be different.



That's not a source at all, just a claim someone made to support their argument. And it's an easily disproved lie.

All of these schools have quotas and admission targets and effectively raise/lower the bar to hit their targets.

Just look at the numbers for yourself.

Most of them admit an almost identical number of students each year. The admission rate is what changes.
