<p>I'm wondering why Drexel's acceptance rate jumped so much in the US News list from last year (58%) to this year (75%) - that's a huge increase in one year. Any ideas why this is?</p>
<p>Drexel’s ranking increased last year, so more students have applied.
In return, more “good” students have been accepted but they are not going.</p>
<p>I think 2012 was the year Drexel rolled out its new Early Decision option and perhaps that changed the statistics. Also I wonder if they are including online students.</p>
