Yeah, there are over 480 according to the website, and even with summer melt, there will still be at least 470-75. This increase was definitely not intentional, and is all about an increased yield (probably in part because of the beautiful weather on accepted students weekend, compared to the rain last year, and the good press Amherst has been getting recently). I’ll be curious to see if there is a higher percentage of low-income students in this class given the extra people who enrolled (since that was the reason for CAP’s plan to increase the class size).
