Adding Santa Clara University from https://www.scu.edu/news-and-events/press-releases/2018/march-2018/santa-clara-university-sends-admissions-decisions-to-the-class-of-2022.html

Santa Clara University received a record 16,233 applications for the Class of 2022, a 7.8 percent increase from last year and the first time SCU received more than 16,000 applications. Students who applied through the Regular Decision option received their notifications by email March 13. Santa Clara will enroll a class of 1,360 first-year students this fall.

more stats.

[evergreen5]

Villanova https://admissionsintel.com/villanova-acceptance-rate-now-29-percent/

Villanova (total ED, EA + RD) 28.8%

[VANDEMORY1342]

WOW, Villanova? Brutal.

[evergreen5]

^Apparently the rate was 43% just two years ago. But, they did just add the ED option this year. (The age-old question, creating a campus culture or gaming the rankings?)

[wwjjdo94]

45% increase in applicants to Bates?!? It’s a nice school, sure… but that’s a simply astonishing statistic. Does anyone have a theory why? (e.g., Maine is suddenly trendy? Bates doing exceptionally good PR? Average applicant applying to more schools overall b/c of the common app?)

[kalons]

@wwjjdo94 i’d say it’s a mixture of your second and third guesses and the fact applicants are starting to appreciate bates a lot more. bates also doesn’t have a supplemental essay, which, literally, allows an applicant to pay the fee and submit an application. (also, more international students could be applying because bates doesn’t require international students to pay a fee, so it’s just few clicks of a button for them.)

[wwjjdo94]

@kalons - and I saw that Colby didn’t charge an application fee this year, which I expect would boost its applicant numbers too. Looks like an interesting admissions stats rivalry brewing there.

[Sue22]

This year Bates made a concerted effort to recruit heavily from outside the Northeast, an area they’ve pretty much saturated. Bates has historically had a strong reputation in New England and surrounding states, and to a lesser extent on the West Coast, but has been less well known in the South and Midwest. I believe they’re trying to change that. Some of the largest increases were from these newly targeted areas as well as from international students.

Bates also did away with their previous rather onerous supplemental essay. It required students to write about a portion of the school’s mission statement, meaning students couldn’t repurpose an essay, such as the “Why us?” essay from another school.

The following is copied from my own post elsewhere:

I wonder if part of the increase in international student applications was due to the fact that the Bates supplement required applicants to dissect a part of the Bates mission statement. Language like “With ardor and devotion—Amore ac Studio—we engage the transformative power of our differences, cultivating intellectual discovery and informed civic action” may have been daunting for applicants for whom English was a second language.

-The new American Talent Initiative,“Colleges working collaboratively to expand access and opportunity for highly-talented lower-income students,” of which Bates is a founding member.

-A new digital and computational studies major.

-Good press as a result of a $50 million donation from a Bates alumni family, the largest single gift to a Maine college ever.

-Continuing communication about the Bates Purposeful Work program.

It’s also possible that Bates’ “story” reads particularly well at this moment in our country’s history. At a time when we’ve seen strife over race, gender, sexuality, hazing and other issues central to American campuses and our society in general, Bates is a school that admitted women and blacks from the start and has never had fraternities or sororities, moves that took some of its peers a hundred years or more to catch up with.

Wellesley:
“Wellesley received 6,670 first-year applications this year, a 17 percent increase over last year (which was also a 17 percent over the previous year). These numbers provide a first glance at the 19 percent of applicants granted admission, the lowest admit rate ever for the College.”

comment on Villanova…yes they added ED which can definitely impact their acceptance rate negatively…but I saw their mid 50% was 32-34. That’s crazy high for Villanova.
