<p>In this case, there were applications of close to 5,000 with intentions of enrolling a class of ~580. In the past SLU has had a yield (accepteees who chose to enroll) of 30-33%. </p>
<p>You can see that on the Comparative Profile of recent classes,<a href=“http://www.stlawu.edu/admis/profile.html[/url]”>http://www.stlawu.edu/admis/profile.html</a> , there has been a consistent drop in the acceptance rate over the past 5 years. With good reason, the campus is changing dramatically in a very positive way. </p>
<p>Having spent significant time at many schools over the past 2 years, the “party image” of any school should be seriously taken with a grain of salt. At any school, if folks want to drink, they will find a way (check out recent Dartmouth’s You-tube Drinking promo) the important point to recognize is that there are plenty of choices the university offers and people make other than partying. I know at SLU, the fraternity life has seen a big refocusing and thus can not be seen as a center of partying either.</p>
