You know, I was thinking that might happen. They accepted more students this year than in years past (numbers-wise), supposedly because of the higher quality of this year’s applicant pool. The number of academic “fives” (highest rating for an applicant) apparently doubled this year, and I think that Clagett was worried that the college might lose many of these top students to Ivys, etc. This resulted in Midd’s acceptance rate being a bit higher than others (Pomona, Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Swat), despite a substancial increase in applicants.
