<p>Is this drop expected to continue? Why is bc in the top 5 of most applied to schools?</p>
<p>edit: what are the other most applied to schools? link>?</p>
<p>The drop is almost entirely due to the economy. People aren’t paying $70 to apply to a school they can’t afford just to see if they can get in or not, ya know? Stuff like that.</p>
<p>Why is BC in the top five most applied to schools? – BC is one of the best well-rounded universities out there in terms of academics, sports, size, location, etc. In a nutshell: it’s a great school.</p>
<p>lol not hating on the school…but its surprising that its top 5…like harvard obviously #1. and bc undergrad is small. how could other ivies not be higher? or even nyu in application terms</p>
<p>found the list</p>

<p>The acceptance rate also jumped from 26% for the Class of 2012 to 30% for the Class of 2013, though the stats of those admitted both years are identical.</p>
