<p>it's weird reading the article because you look at the statistics, like so and so many people got 800's on this, on this, and you're like wow...i'm just one of 2102394823049234 people who got an 800 in verbal, or my friend is one in 934823423 who got a 1600 haha. depressing!</p>
<p>I agree these stats are truly depressing. Why can't these colleges with ridiculously low acceptance rates expand their enrollment by just a little bit. They really aught to put the endowment money to good use: i.e. create a little more living space. I believe Princeton is doing that right now.</p>
<p>Yes. Princeton will be expanding a little each year for the next 3 yrs. Currently, after its ED acceptances, Princeton has about 15,700 applications to consider for less than 600 remaining slots.</p>
<p>I called the Harvard numbers pretty well in January!</p>
<p>that you did!</p>

<p>expand their enrollment by just a little bit. </p>
<br>
<p>Harvard's thinking about it in the long term, but IMHO there's a trade-off with the sense of community when the school gets too big. I would have mixed feelings about them going to 7000 undergrads, and I'd be totally opposed to them moving toward 10,000.</p>
<p>Remember that all those students who don't get into Harvard (or wherever) aren't exactly left out in the cold. They're going to go to other excellent schools.</p>

<p>Go liberal arts colleges!</p>
<p>Harvard will eventually be expanding to 7.500 or so for two primary reasons: (1) to expand international enrollment w/o cutting domestic enrollment, and (2) to expand the number of engineering students.</p>
<p>How many undergrads are there now?</p>
<p>About 6,600.</p>
<p>"The high yield means that only a small number of students can be admitted from the waiting list this year."</p>
<p>They list 1,627 admits, half-and-half, male and female.</p>
<p>My guess is about 20-30 off the waitlist eventually.</p>
<p><em>deep sigh</em> :(</p>
<p>No Northstarmom, if they expand, their selectivity ratings decrease by being able to admit more students. Then, they won't be #1 incollege rankings. Sad that that happens. :(</p>
<p>Kind of silly question. For those that applied EA and got their acceptence e-mail, does the subject line of the e-mail say if you got accepted?</p>
<p>The subject is (or rather, was) "Admissions Decision"</p>
