<p>IV. Enrollment Management
Vice President for Enrollment Management and Dean of Admissions Kurt Thiede reported on the following enrollment matters:
i. Budgeted enrollment for FY08 appears to be slightly ahead (3,358 vs. 3,350) of the targeted number.
ii. Based on the excellence of the admitted students, the class of 2012 promises to be quite strong.
iii. The acceptance rate for the class is presently 29.6% and should remain below 30%.
iv. The class’s yield rate those students accepted who enroll is significantly up from last year (33.5%) and should finish between 37-38%, which is a very positive indicator of Bucknell’s rising competitiveness.
v. Class deposits were running significantly higher than at the same time last year.
vi. We are increasing the entering class by 25 to 925 to balance the growing interest in study abroad with on-campus students.
vii. The overall enrollment for FY09 appears to be in good shape, based upon registration figures to date. </p>
