D’s LAC typically enrolls around 750 students per class. Last year (Class of 2025) saw a 104% increase in the number of applicants and ended up enrolling 913!!! It is a small, rural school and D says everything is crowded and resources are stretched very thin. There is no way they can have that many students again for 2026 but they got another record number of applications (up another 21% over last year, up 146% from her class). They don’t want to reject potential students but are definitely trying to admit a more reasonable number.
