<p>Alright, so I've realized this with multiple schools, but I thought I'd ask this about my top choice.
Umass Amherst is reported to have about a 68-69% acceptance rate. however their website says
2010 freshmen class:</p>
<p>"31,148 applicants for a class of 4,500", which is far less than 69%. What is up with this? Is it accepting tons of extra people in hopes of filling up the class?</p>

<p>down where it says “2010 freshman class”. I’m thinking of what you said. They accept a surplus of people because theyre 100% sure that not everyone can attend their school.</p>
