[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same number of kids got into Ivies this year, as last year, as the schools have not changed the number of kids admitted.[/quote]

But the unis may have changed their goals for admission - two easy examples, maybe they are admitting more international students or wanted more geo diversity within the US. [/quote]

Those are big "may" and "maybe" 's.

You'd need to cite evidence or it is easy to dismiss your post.[/quote]

No need to get huffy. I'm not the PP, but have 2 DCs just going through these last cycles and both of these popped to mind when I read this thread. For example, I am aware of a T20 university with an overseas campus. There is an agreement that the students at the overseas campus will be able to study for one year at the US campus. That school is now having to accommodate two years' worth of students in this coming academic year. Given that, there are not as many openings for the incoming '26 class. [/quote]

It’s not getting huffy to say “you just made that up without evidence” as people may read this forum, take your statement as fact and make uninformed decisions based on it.

This is a discussion forum.  If you make a claim you should be prepared for it to be challenged.  Your anecdote above is not evidence, and your lack of mentioning the school is a tell that you can’t support it with any facts.

PP is right - essentially the same number of seats for the same number of students.  That’s all verifiable in the CDSs.[/quote]

Another NP. Not sure why you are so defensive and insistent the other poster "prove" things, especially when you don't prove the same #s notion. Seats fluctuate based on potential over/under admissions of previous years (NEU is an example there), same for the instance pp above mentioned (I'm thinking NYU Shanghai). Also,  the numbers of students applying is growing,  I believe.  More students overall (birthrate) and higher percentage applying to college.[/quote]
