The 5C’s just released stats on the Class of 2022: http://tsl.news/news/7540/

Interestingly, CMC bucked the trend in the surge of applications, seeing a slight decrease from last year. However, the admit rate dropped from 10.4% to 8.9% as they admitted only 558 students. By comparison, last year they accepted 658 students. That means the total applicant pool this year was approximately 6270 students (last year was 6349, the year before 6342). Compare this to 3 years ago, when they had 7156 applicants and accepted 784! Amazing how the accept rate has plunged, and consequently yield has surged.

Of the other 5C’s, Pomona, Pitzer, and Scripps had significant increases in applicants; HMC was the same as 2017.

Since CMC accepted fully 100 less than last year, my guess is they want to guard against over enrollment. That might be good news for those on the waitlist. It appears lots of highly selective colleges and universities are waitlisting more applicants, and admitting fewer, as the surge in applications nationwide is causing concern as to who will be going where.
