IPEDS does not publish computer-science-major admit rates. What it does publish is how many CS-related degrees a campus awards and the campus-wide acceptance rate. This table is that intersection: high CS volume versus how selective the campus is overall. Treat the campus rate as a ceiling — capped CS majors are often harder than the campus number.
