Haven’t answered any questions about enrolled compared to accepted stats- maybe someone will do the research and give us the numbers. Most college students settle for their school- how many dream of Harvard or UW but know their chances are small for getting in? Even some Harvard students were denied their first choice and settled on it.

Always looking at the negative aspects of everything doesn’t help dealing most satisfactorily with realities. The glass can be half full just as easily as half empty. A positive spin on things will usually be of the most psychological benefit. UW seems to generate many satisfied alumni. Not everyone looks to the old east coast for the epitome of life, the midwest is different and not a stepchild to the earliest years of this country- different attitudes.
