Colleges where acceptance rate is going up

It depends how you define popular. If “popular” includes public colleges that many thousands of students apply to and attend, then some examples are below. If you instead by popular you mean HYPSM… type highly selective private colleges, then the answer is no.

Alabama A&M – Acceptance rate increased from 30-40%s a decade ago to 90% in 2017
SUNY Geneseo – Acceptance rate increased from 30%s a decade ago to 72% in most recent CDS
