19% Increase in Applications

<p>Are tech schools on the rise? WPI sees a 19% increase in apps (RPI is up 17%). Is anyone seeing other data in play? Will the increased selectivity drive further interest and perhaps increases in rankings? Any other thoughts on this? Would love to hear of any buzz heard on WPI campus regarding this. </p>
