<p>Byerly,</p>

<p>I don't think that is correct. Those are the private universities with the largest number of applicants not matriculants. Using Boston College as the example, because I think it is the smallest, they have 9000 undergraduates, which is less than UPenn at 9300 or Cornell at 13,000+. Even Boston University with over 17,000 undergraduates has less than Brigham Young with 30,000+.</p>

<p>Again, sorry I can not find a link but it seems to be true. I'll look on the web-sites of some of those schools to see if they have any references.</p>

<p>Okay, here are a few links with components of the information. The first is an article from BC's web-site that states that their applications are up 12% this year to over 26,000. US News lists the undergraduate population at 9000 students.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/rvp/pubaf/chronicle/v14/f2/applications.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/rvp/pubaf/chronicle/v14/f2/applications.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The second is the number of applications that NYU received, over 35,000. NYU has a total student population of 17,000.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nyu.edu/public.affairs/releases/detail/914%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nyu.edu/public.affairs/releases/detail/914&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I couldn't find numbers for this cycle for BU, Northeastern or USC but the number in the current US News for the class of 2008 were as follows:</p>

<p>BU - Applications - 28,240, Full time undergrads - 16,386
Northeastern - Applications - 24,436, Full time undergrads - 14,618
USC - Applications - 29,792, Full time undergrads - 16,474</p>

<p>As a matter of scale, UPenn has 9300+ undergrads and Cornell has over 13,000. The main difference between these schools and the ones listed in the Yale article is the yield rate.</p>

<p>In this case, when I said "matriculants", I should have said "apps".</p>

<p>since stanford has abnormal jump, it should explain and describe where this growth is coming from. If more CA kids are applying, then that is not magic. But if more Kids from East are applying then that is a pick on IVY.
This year CA gave 15% applications for PENN, no1 state. That is news, suggesting increasing awareness among CA parents. Stanford has a habit of throwing one number without a break down( regions, states, schools, M/F etc). Is it the impact of New Adm Dir who came from Yale?
Details!!!!!! needed to understand this growth. IVY's do much better job at explaing their numbers. Stanford seems to hide it large CA applicant pool.</p>

<p>It was just announced that Cornell apps jumped 15% this year to 28,012 - on top of a 17% jump last year to 24,444. I would guess that the admit rate will fall from 26.1% last year to perhaps 22% this year. 1,113 of a record 2,851 ED applicants have already been admitted.</p>

<p>Care to guess admit sraetes for IVY plus sf and mit?</p>
