Question

which describes selectivity? (1 point)
the percentage of students who are admitted out of the number of students who applied
the amount of money your employer will compensate you during your first days, weeks, or months
of employment
the overall impression of excellence or quality of a school
a certain standard of excellence that professors and administrators expect of their students

Explanation:

To determine the correct option for describing selectivity, we analyze each choice:

• The first option: "the percentage of students who are admitted out of the number of students who applied" matches the concept of selectivity (how selective a school is in admitting students, calculated as admission rate).
• The second option describes compensation (like a signing bonus or initial pay), not selectivity.
• The third option describes a school's reputation or prestige, not selectivity.
• The fourth option describes academic standards expected of students, not selectivity.

Answer:

A. the percentage of students who are admitted out of the number of students who applied
