<pre><code>Even without the common application SC had a substantial increase of applicants last year. The admit rate was 22% for the incoming class entering in August 2011. That rate compares quite favorably to other national universities such as Emory at 25%, NYU at 25%, Carnegie-Mellon at 30%, Univ. of Virginia at 32%, Univ. of North Carollina at 29%, Georgia Tech at 47%, Notre Dame at 24% and UCLA at 25%.

<p>Right now it is only speculation about the yield rate when the country in a state of economic uncertainty and a new application system is instituted. </p>
