<p>If it is true, that Indiana has double the applications this year than they had last year, then wouldn't this year's class have a 40% acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Do you think this is possible? If the statement made earlier about double the applications is true, I would think the rates would be near what is stated, and that would be big for the university's prestige.</p>
<p>The big IF is that double # of apps rumor floating around. It's been mentioned on these boards several times, but do we know if that's actually been verified by the admissions office? If that's the case, and IU admits the same # as last year, the # of kids that actually enroll won't necessarily be the same as last year, correct? Once that # is established, it'll be interesting to compare the acceptance rates. If it's close to your calculations, that would be amazing.</p>
<p>If your predictions are true that would be FRIGGIN CRAZY for any school, going from a 83% ( easy school) to a 40%ish ( sorta tough school to get into), i personaly think that would be making college acceptance history LOL but yea if those app's did double and they stil accept same amount then yea acceptance percentage would be lower. realisticly in my opinion i tink it just went down to 60%ish, going down to 40% is prety crazy and far out :)</p>
<p>I think that I might have mentioned the doubling based on my conversation with someone in Admissions in early October. Thus, it reflects only the number that came in as of that date. I mentioned it because many kids were concerned about how long it was taking to hear back. I don't know if the doubling continued to be true in late October, November a d December.</p>
<p>I didn't do the math. I thought you had factored enrollment in since you had listed it. Now that you've gotten our curiosity up, give admissions a call and see what you can find out about this year's numbers! Another interesting trend will be the spike in the OOS %.</p>
<p>BTW, the IU freshmen back home during break were raving to my S. about the place. They had a great first semester. He said he noticed a big difference in their enthusiasm compared to the MSU kids.</p>
<p>Even with the higher acceptance rate, I have yet to hear of anyone getting rejected, that I know of. I just sent my app in yesterday, and Indiana is considered a safety for me. If the acceptance rate really did go down that low, then hopefully I didnt send in my app too late, and can still be able to get in. I tried to send it in earlier, but there are issues with my counselor and his ability to get stuff done.</p>
<p>Did you mean lower acceptance rate? With the increase in the # of apps, it's expected to drop somewhat this year. Perhaps all the people you know that have been admitted were qualified. We have heard of some rejections. If they haven't filled the freshman class yet, and your stats make this a safety, then you shouldn't have a problem.</p>
<p>GoBlueAlumMom- When I called up the admissions office to find out why my application was taking so long they told me "We've doubled the number of applicants from the previous year, so expect it to take a bit longer". If that's the case IU's USNews rank will spike haha.</p>
