[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, sorry, I used JMU to illustrate the increase in apps via Common App, not selectivity. But UVA is selective and works too - last year UVA received a "record breaking" 56,439 apps, up 10% from the previous year. I haven't looked at the numbers for this class, but I bet it will be another record breaker. Last year, Auburn received a record number 48k applications, a 5% increase from the year before. Northeastern received 96,641 applications for fall 2023, up from 91K in 2022, 75,233 in 2021 and 64,428 in 2020. That’s an increase of 32,213 applicants, or 50% over four years, according to Satyajit Dattagupta, the university’s chief enrollment officer. NYU received 50,804 in 2014 and had a 35% admit rate. Five years later, NYU received 84,481 apps and had a 16% admit rate. You'll see the same pattern because kids are applying to the same 50-60 schools. But some none selective schools are also reporting record numbers. In 2023, the Univ of North Dakota reported a 2.3% increase over 2022, their strongest enrollment growth in 10 years. North friggin Dakota![/quote]

Look...all this is playing absolute havoc on yields, because the actual number of students is not increasing....just the applications per student.

WVU enrollment has shrunk by 16% since 2013, Indiana University of PA enrollment has shrunk by 40% since 2013.

University of North Dakota enrollment in 2010 was 14,194 students vs. 14,172 today...so, they are still just trying to get back to where they were 13 years ago.[/quote]
