<p>I have heard whispers that this year’s class is exceptionally strong and it is known that last year’s yield (the ratio of enrollment/admitted students) was very high. MU started with something like 2100 Frosh last year . . . about 100 more than ‘ideal’. As a result, I suspect that admission standards went up somewhat.</p>
<p>The wait list issue is a tough one. I agree with the previous post that if one is wait listed to one of the smaller colleges (Nursing, Health Science, etc.) that your chances of getting in are modest. I would not expect a 25 ACT to make the cut. For the larger schools (Arts & Sciences), openings sometimes do happen.</p>
