NEWS: Lafayette to Decrease Enrollment!

<p>NOTE: I AM REPOSTING THIS MESSAGE IN ITS OWN THREAD BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS NEWS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE!!!</p>

<p>To all CCers:</p>

<p>As a member of one of the college's faculty committees, I often receive reports informing faculty of changing admissions procedures. In this month's packet there was a letter from the Faculty Enrollment Planning Committee.</p>

<p>The committee advises the president of the college to gradually decrease the number of enrolling students over the next five years (from 595 for the Class of 2011 to 575 for the Class of 2015). The reason for this move is simple: the college wishes to "...reach the best possible student/faculty ratio consistent with the college's resources."</p>

<p>What does this mean for the average applicant? It means admission into Lafayette just got a little more competitive! If we are looking at a 34% RD acceptance rate now, expect that percentage to decrease below 30% by 2015.</p>

<p>If you are reading this post, you are one of the first to know about this change of admission procedures at Lafayette. Don't you feel special?</p>
