<p>^Great news indeed. That’s precisely the reason why applications will go up due to this thoughtful No Barriers program and why the admit rate will go down and yield will go up. I am not sure if it would move the needle on ranking since admit rate and yield bear little on the methodology.</p>
<p>I agree with kaukauna that low admit rate is a double-edge sword. Low acceptance rate seems to elevate the selectivity of the school but having to reject 90%+ of applicants is never an easy thing to do.</p>
