<p>Wow. That's... quite a lot.</p>
<p>WOW, nearly 50% increase. Should yield some better stats I'd think.</p>
<p>Thus the 56.5% admit rate. I have no news story/link/etc. to back this up, but the source is more connected than any person on this website. They could be rounding/exaggerating, but they were pretty clear on the 30K number.</p>
<p>Maybe they are including transfer and freshmen apps?</p>
<p>Update: You're correct. It was just under 23K for freshmen.</p>
<p>Admit rate is 57%, though.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update. They actually stopped funding our booth at the local college fair which I think was very successful in getting new interest. I might just sponsor it myself next year--only $500 or so.</p>
