[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Acceptance rate can be manipulated. Was at a swathmore tour. Official said that they just rid of second essay as they were surprised at low number of applications. So guess what when they did? Applications went us, acceptance % went down. It is all about gaming the ranking.[/quote] Absolutely. But you'd be naive to think that every college doesn't want to get their acceptance rates to fall. Think of all the highly ranked colleges (including HYPS) which joined the new Coalition Application last year and partnerships like the American Talent Initiative. At least part of the motivation is to get more applications and to push that number further and further down.[/quote]
