Any new schools starting to heat up or predictions for the next "it" schools?



They've all jumped significantly from 2020.


+1 Clemson and South Carolina are no longer safeties.

Those have landed. Not up and coming. Thought whomever said Utah is right for engineering/CS. University of Oregon also gaining in popularity (and way better weather than Minnesota). San Diego State also on the rise.

Tell me you've never spent a winter in Eugene without telling me you've never spent a winter in Eugene.

Anywhere south and west is up. Southern flagships, Colorado and Oregon state schools, and Northwest SLACs in particular.

+1 on Minnesota. Indiana and Michigan State too.


I’m curious why Michigan State isn’t more popular. According to USNWR it’s ranked 60th. 88% acceptance rate.


They've had some bad press over the last several years.

Literally EVERY college in America is getting more applicants because of test optional on the SAT. EVERY college. It's not any reflection on the college or what kind of educational experience they are offering.


This is not even remotely true. The top 100 - 150 schools have higher applications and the rest are seeing significant declines. There are 3 MM fewer college students today vs 10 years ago. There are many schools that are 30-40% smaller today…WVU is a relatively local example.

This. There are still a lot of kids all in on the Southern rah rah but if that isn’t their thing it seems like Big Ten schools like Minnesota, Indiana, and Michigan State are becoming more popular now. University of Michigan was always popular but it’s getting even crazier and Wisconsin has been popular for a few years.
