[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a school that used to be considered a safety, but now has so many applications it’s getting more difficult to get in?  Like maybe Auburn or Alabama?[/quote]

I graduated from Auburn and was recently looking at admissions data that went from 1992 to 2022. The acceptance rate dropped 28 percent just between 2021 and 2022 and I am sure has fallen a few more points since then. I knew it had gotten harder anecdotally but seeing the hard numbers was fascinating. [/quote]

Auburn shows how fast it can change.  For Fall '24, Auburn got 55,000 applications, only 12,000 of which were from in state. The acceptance rate was 39% overall, with 34% of accepted students from Alabama (which were only 22% of the applicant pool, so the OOS acceptance rate was lower). Meanwhile, Niche still shows Auburn's acceptance rate as 71% for 27,000 applicants.

It sounds like Tennessee may be seeing a surge this year, and other SEC schools have increases, even if not as dramatic.

If you're looking at numbers just a couple of years old, it can be very misleading.  [/quote]
