[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would put Fordham in the category of schools that are so expensive that no one applies and then they have to take anyone that can afford to pay the tuition.  Probably urban schools like UCLA, NYU.  GW.[/quote]
# of applicants in 2015

NYU - 60,000
GWU - 25,000
Fordham - 41,000

According to their website, the number of NYU applications received was not only the largest ever, but also the largest increase year-to-year since 1999.

maybe you and I have different definitions of "no one applies"?[/quote]

These explosions in application numbers have to do with demographics. These applicants are the children of the post WWII baby boom. After these kids are done, there will be a smaller applicant pool. Some less competitive colleges will close their doors or lower their price. They will have to.

But there will always be enough wealthy people to send their kids to the elite colleges, so no, they will not become easier to get into.  Middle class kids will go to public colleges. Middle class kids are already priced out of the colleges that don't offer merit aid, including all the elite colleges. [/quote]
