<p>Besides the obvious, Ivies, what would be considered a "Hot School"?</p>
<p>i think northeasterns applications skyrocketed this year- i know someone who got rejected from northeastern but got into cornell.</p>
<p>every school applications skyrocketed this year.</p>
<p>Penn is really hot right now, compared to other Ivies.</p>
<p>Hot Schools:
On the rise academically or a v. large increase in applicants and interest</p>
<p>Indiana, North Carolina, Emory, Northeastern, Miami (Ohio), Colorado (Boulder), Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas, Wash U</p>
<p>All Ivy's are hot. I think all of them h ad a record number of applicants (exaggeration probably but partially true)</p>
<p>Indiana, BU, Temple, UPitt, UWisc, UConn, UMass.</p>
<p>all the top (15-20) LAC's experienced a major app boost this year.</p>
<p>Some of Northeastern's admissions stats for this year:</p>
<p>Number of EA Applicants: 6500 (first year of EA)
Total Number of Applicants: 27,100 (new record) (compare this to four years ago when NEU only received about 15,000 total apps)
Acceptance Rate: 44%</p>
<p>Northeastern has the potential to get up to 30,000 apps next year (it's becoming more nationally known).</p>
<p>Holy Cross is another really hot school.</p>
<p>Duke, UVA, North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Emory, Northwestern, Miami in Ohio, and Washington U in St. Louis</p>
<p>Miami was so hot they failed to meet their enrollment target last year. One of the few publics with declining enrollment.</p>
<p>"Miami was so hot they failed to meet their enrollment target last year. One of the few publics with declining enrollment."</p>
<p>Last year, they their largest increases in Applications ever. And yes, the enrollment was down, but probably because the student body was very qualified and chose elsewhere.</p>
<p>This year, the are looking at a record class with confirmations so far. Really far ahead of last year</p>
<p>Hot schools for top students: Ivies, Stanford, Duke, NU, Georgetown, UVA, UNC</p>
<p>what about Tufts?</p>
<p>Does anyone think Tufts is "hot"</p>
<p>it's good, but not "hot"</p>
<p>UCLA received more applicants than any other college, over 47,000.</p>
<p>interesting about northwestern... but aren't a lot of the other schools being named already popular?</p>
<p>definitely duke and brown
