<p>My guess would be more students are applying to more colleges - such a never-ending cycle - because as more apply - the acceptance rates go down - and then next year’s seniors feel that they have to apply to even more schools, etc.</p>
<p>I might also suggest the gorgeous new welcome center? The new freshman dorm? The new business school building that is under construction? We were impressed with Wake when we toured 3-4 years ago - I think we would be even more impressed today - seeing these new facilities. My son is a very happy junior - no regrets.</p>
