<p>Yale president Richard Levin has been a leader in efforts to change ED admissions policies, and that is probably one reason the university was at the top of so many ambitious students' lists this year. A record 19,682 students applied in 2003, but only 1,955 were admitted. The 2004-05 season could be a repeat. Undergraduate Admissions Dean Richard Shaw says the number of campus visits has increased dramatically—a good indicator of a future spike in applications. Yalies say a big attraction of their undergraduate experience is the residential-college system. Students live in one of 12 colleges, each with its own character, under the guidance of a master and a dean.</p>

<p>I wonder if the fact that Jay Mathews, the author of the Newsweek article, is a Harvard grad had anything to do with his assesment? Perish the thought....</p>

5

<p>The author of "Harvard-Schmarvard"? He has been down on Harvard ever since his daughter didn't get in as a legacy.</p>

<p>Jay Mathews's resentment of Harvard is so prominent that it's actually quite amusing.</p>
