Trust me, there is no financial difficulty at Rollins, and it is getting tougher to get in every year. They have been ranked #1 as a Masters University in the US News Rankings for years now. I think that in the South, its reputation is solid, and they are doing this for a reason other than financial. Might it be to maintain their ranking, sure. But applications are up, and they have no problem filling their classes with well qualified students.

I think that their endowment and financial situation ALLOWS them to do this; I do not thing their financial situation is the cause.
