<p>Have they posted the class size (“600 students matriculate”) on a website? Is this really the official number of students who have made deposits? Or is it an interim number (e.g., number of students offered admission?) If so, what is the usual “melt” (number of students who don’t actually show up in September)?</p>
<p>This large an “over-shoot” would be surprising unless it was intentional given earlier year’s class sizes, or a plan to increase enrollment for some purpose (revenue needed)?</p>
