[quote=Anonymous]What are you guys talking about? Ceteris paribus, if a school like this is getting more good applications, their acceptance rate goes down and their enrollment stays the same. If they choose to expand their student body (or if they make a mistake and more of their admitted students accept than their model predicts), their enrollment goes up. Expanding enrollment could possibly mean lower standards, but not always. Very prestigious schools (e.g., Princeton, which also increased enrollment) have so many highly qualified applicants that admitting more doesn't really change the profile. Getting their yield wrong also doesn't say anything about standards. It's getting really, really difficult for schools to predict yield. So this kind of change doesn't mean that their yield necessarily increased. I don't know anything about Bucknell, but much of the conversation on this board doesn't make much sense.[/quote]
