Penn State Applications Down 9 Percent This Year

<p>As of 4/19/13, I was told (so no link) by some pretty reputable sources that overall applications were down, quality (of the admitted pool) remained about the same, they admitted less students, but yield was up about 20%, so that they were actually running ahead (incoming freshman accepts) from last year.
