15% Increase in Freshman Applications

Didn’t an article recently run saying that BU had this happen last year - they accepted based on their algorithm and they got more freshmen than they’d expected? I hadn’t seen that on the site but I guess that explains the seeming lack of rejections. And I know it’s a small sampling on here but you’d still expect to see the same sort of distribution. Unless cc’ers are just all the ‘worthy ones!’

My daughter was looking at Northeastern and a couple of the ‘elite’ LACs. So many people would say, “oh, those are good schools!” and then when I’d tell them she had chosen Northeastern, they’d say, “oh, that’s nice.” I’m glad to hear she made the right choice, although we never doubted it, or she wouldn’t have chosen it.

I look forward to seeing their yield rate. Hope they called it right!

Good luck to all in the RD pool!
