[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The statement that everyone was admitted is farce, but where are they going to get an additional 100+ interested students next year, without loosening standards? I'm certainly not saying, state school is a way to avoid drinking and greek life, just that it's a more direct path, if that is the goal. State school is Bucknell's competition.[/quote] State schools are (and should be) EVERY private college's competition, and always have been. Not sure what the revelation is. Also, there are many ways other than "loosening standards" to increase yield. Merit aid, better marketing, increased international reach, increased demonstrated interest metrics, elimination of application fees (esp in ED), improvement and expansion of high-demand programs.... These are realities for all colleges as the number of college bound students is expected to decline. [i]That [/i]was the point of the article, not "Bucknell Sucks".[/quote]
