<p>Instead of speculating, the facts should soon be available from the Admissions office. The appearance of increased acceptance rate for the class of 2015 is likely a shift from the wait list, not resulting in an increase in enrollment. Appproximately one hundred mid years may add to total enrollment on paper, but if they replace Juniors who are away on a year abroad, then, any potential overcrowding is relieved. Let’s face it, whether the freshman class is 800, 850 or 900, the total population is still athe smallest I believe of any major research university with the exception of Cal Tech. Sorry you had a bad experience with the housing lottery.</p>
