The point is that there are many people who are ok with the larger class sizes and there are actually some the prefer the anonymity of that. So UC Davis got about 80K apps last year and Reed got 7K maybe. Let’s look at Pomona, probably a more relevant comparison for a CA resident, they get 10K apps. For a college that meets full need like Pomona, shouldn’t they be getting 30-40K apps since their experience is supposedly better and would be affordable? My point is that class size in stem is not as big a factor in choosing colleges as people think it is.
