Was the point of of this post to point out that LACs are more in demand than UVA or something more benign? |

| Buddy. OP is literally posting as articles comes out. Stop thinking the smallest thing is a threat to your beloved institution. All four of those schools posted yesterday and today. |

But the interesting (and unknowable) factor is how many of these schools are admitting the same students. The more that every student applies to more and more reach, match, and safety schools, it seems to me that more and more will end up getting admitted to the same schools. But they can only attend one. So, maybe the schools are not not actually getting more selective it’s just that more applicants are applying. For example, if previously kids only applied to two “top” schools and now are applying to all 10 or 20 or whatever the school will seem more selective, but in fact you just end up with more randomness which leads to more applications the following year. And so the vicious circle continues.
There’s probably a math answer to this but I can’t be bothered to figure it out. |

Santa Clara has strong engineering and business schools. They just had a $100 million dollar donation to build a new STEM center so it does well in the Silicon Valley area. A nice size school with a stunning campus. Villanova has been a school on the rise also for a while. |

I know but at 6:36 on the first page you post only the in-state results. There are many OOS people on DCUM |

Wrong again. The 6:36 post has both results. They are separated by a few rows |

The article is 2018 acceptance rates as reported by the admissions office (as the source notes). Tufts's acceptance rate must have not changed much this year. Apps only went 2% while others saw 6-18%.
