<p>and the silence rules.........</p>
<p>y havent we gotten application acknowledgments??</p>
<p>My guess is that they need to a handle on first-year admission first. Understandably that's their priority.</p>
<p>yeah but that is over now!!</p>
<p>It makes sense given their overall capacity that they would have to consider the freshman yield, but it isn't like they're admitting transfers to the incoming freshman class, so it'd be weird in that regard.</p>
<p>But what it all comes down to is space, regardless of year. They're probably waiting to see how many accepted freshmen actually enroll so they know exactly how many vacancies they actually have.</p>
