[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rise? What rise?? Pretty decent school but there's no rise that I am aware of. [/quote]

Ten years ago they accepted 46% of applicants, now they accept 22%. Similar schools - Kenyon has gone from 38% to 34%, Dickinson 44% to 35%, Trinity 32% to 36%, Bucknell 30% to 33%. They have a pretty low acceptance rate as a LAC with their ranking.[/quote]

That's "rise" you are referring to? [/quote]

Denison is test optional, with only about 1/2 of students submitting test scores, and of those that do their range is wider than the other schools you mentioned-- 1290-1440  this past year, whereas Kenyon, for instance, has slightly more students submitting but a higher and tighter range of 1380-1490.  So it's simply a matter of numbers, really Denison is drawing from a wider pool of possible applicants--there are lot more students who have scores in their range and thus who see Denison as a target--than there are in the range of those other schools.  Acceptance rate doesn't tell you a whole lot on its own.  [/quote]
