[quote=Anonymous]Schools that are in single digits acceptance rates are lottery schools - so it will be hard for them to get tougher (for example moving from 5% to 4.5% is not as big a drop).

Next tier is Michigan and others that were 30%-40% 10 years ago and now 12%-15%. They still have room to single digits.

Then you have schools like BC, UMiami, Wisconsin. These are in the 35-60 range of ranking (even if you do not agree with rankings). Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia and others will benefit as UCs and Michigan become even tougher. Plus Florida and Georgia offer warmer weather. BC, Miami and their type will benefit as some other mid-sized or privates become tougher - like Duke, Vandy and Tulane even with ED or nothing systems.

Don't laugh at UMiami as example - my student looked but she did not apply. The numbers were interesting for what used to be an easy admit.

2019-2020 - 39,000 applications for 10,500 acceptances
2023-2024 - 48,200 applications for 8,400 acceptances
2024-2025 - their rep said in a recent article over 55,000 apps this year
