<p>If I remember correctly, Cue7 mentioned in several posts in the past that yes indeed when the acceptance rate was so high, the overall quality of the student body was actually lower. One faculty we met during a move in day couple of years back mentioned that as the acceptance rate started to go down, and the quality of the students went up, the faculty started to RESPECT the students more and started to engage them more seriously.</p>
