[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is the same pattern being experienced across the board at most collleges. Kids are now applying to 15, 20+ colleges whereas they were appkying to onky five a decade ago. That phehomenon [b]alone[/b] accounts for larger applicant classes = drop in acceptances[/quote] No, not “alone.” Holy Cross laudably tried to go need blind for many years and did not quite have the money (though its per student endowment still exceeds all other Jesuit schools). Coupled with poor nationwide admissions recruiting, which was exacerbated by COVID, its acceptance rate went up, relative to its peers, to its highest ever. Targeted merit aid and better recruiting made that a low bar to overcome. [/quote]
