[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A school with 70% of a class being filled ED knows exactly what it is doing in terms of its (intended) over-enrollment, their press releases notwithstanding. [/quote]

So they're intentionally over enrolling because they want to have kids living in hotels and want to pay them $10K to defer for a semester/year? Do tell us the true intent behind their diabolical plan to over enroll. [/quote]
Either 1) it is intentional (the actual over-enrollment number might have been elevated, but a target range of over-enrollment was intended, if you know anything about yield and LTE algorithms) or 2) it is unintentional, for 3 years straight, and the administration is therefore wholly incompetent. I don’t know which of the two is worse (probably the latter, which seems to be your enlightened interpretation; I give Middlebury more credit, not being a naïf).

But what I do know is that Middlebury over-enrollment has harmed the student experience for several years running. That is very bad thing for a SLAC to do, what with student experience being SLACs’ entire selling point vis-à-vis national universities.[/quote]
