[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NESCAC school Bates reported an astounding 45% increase in applications over last year. http://www.bates.edu/news/2018/02/21/bates-college-attracts-record-number-of-applications-for-incoming-class/ [/quote] Well, no surprise: "Bates has simplified the application process in another way. Effective this year, the college has eliminated the application requirement of a supplemental essay." It's sad how far so many colleges are going just to push their acceptance rate down.[/quote] Right. And Bates has been test optional for awhile now. Now watch Bates regular decision yield plummet into the 20s% range as many of those seniors just threw in a Bates application b/c it required no effort. Bates relies on 2 rounds of Early Decision to admit more than half their class to boost its yield ala UChicago.[/quote]
