I believe it would be reasonable to say that WFU is “most selective” altho these are pretty subjective labels.

Virtually every place is experiencing the temporary “blip” upward in apps … it’s demographics, economics, competitiveness among institutions (our student has received no fewer than 23 “free” app offers, some from competitive schools (I’m convinced that at least for several, this is a strategy to shift their posture to more selective by generating more apps that are ultimately rejected … or perhaps attempting to “catch” some students that would otherwise not even apply. Whatever, it’s sorta interesting to try and figure it out.)
