@VANDEMORY1342 : They either played games or they didn’t. Smart students have dumb ways…did NYU recently have a ranking increase or anything? You know rational logic says, when the rank goes up, the school itself is just suddenly better and when they fluctuate or go down, worse so you must apply in high numbers to an already elite place when the rank increases. Dumb dumb high IQ students applying to elites…also admit rate due to application increases (or in general) will start becoming irrelevant as SAT scores converge. Most schools will be able to claim that on paper they have the same students even though most don’t on anywhere but paper.
I think they’ve let housing go, but I guess they have to reign in the freshman overcrowding to ensure the freshman and sophomore guaranteed housing lasts. They need to think about housing a bit more. Sadly, I think in like a decade or so, they may have to consider new construction when they could be using money elsewhere. Then we can read articles celebrating how Emory is spending something that is a huge fraction of the endowment for a housing complex. Can’t wait. Hey, at least petty and easy to please prospective students on tour will go “wow!” Bring in a football stadium and new gym they will commit as 1st semester juniors in HS lol.
