Forgot to add… :)

I completely agree with the above point that UA’s incoming freshmen stats will markedly rise in the near future.

Within a few years, UA went from getting 7,000 freshman apps, to over 18,000 apps. UA went from accepting most applicants to rejecting around 40% (don’t have the exact stat in front of me). Improving it selectivity (which it has) will bring an increase in its freshmen stats.

Edited to add found stats :)

2002 … 7,322 applied…6,250 admitted…80% admitted

2008 …18,500 applied…11,172 admitted…60% admitted

This has allowed UA to be more selective. Now, that UA has reached the maximum it can really enroll (around 5,300 for 2009 - don’t have the exact number), and the applications will likely continue to rise, UA will continue to be more selective and the stats will rise.
