<p>103, 96, 86, 77, 68, 59, 51, 42, 33, 28, 23, 14 … What’s next.</p>
<p>I’m afraid, I’m going to have to duck to avoid the rotten tomatoes hurled in my direction after this The next in the sequence is … Astor Place.</p>
<p>The sequence is stops on the Lexington Avenue Local in NYC. Lorem’s comments about thinking outside the box brought this to mind for the first time in many years.</p>
<p>I’ll try to stay on topic in the future.</p>
<p>i see this as the wedge necessary to open up an Approved Mornington Crescent Thread. So, without further ado, and per the Grannington CongressAgreements of '33, I shall play:</p>
<p>Kew Gardens.</p>

<p>Well, Zephr, I’m not a New Yorker, so I can admit failure with no disgrace. Although I still suspect therein lies a deeper meaning, set forth by the Illuminati. Perhaps I can crack the code and expose their grand vision… (laughs manically)</p>
<p>NUGRADDAD, I’m afraid that you may have mistaken this forum for a U of Chicago forum. Mornington Crescent!</p>
<p>LoremIpsum - I attended an NU presentation Sunday night. The recruiter said the class size should be normally 2000 and they have been exceeding that last couple years. He said it costs the university money when it happens and they don’t really want to have so many extra students. At an extra 150 students, and a 39% yield, they will probably chop off admissions by 300-350 students in 2012.</p>
<p>^ ****!!!</p>

<p>PizzaGirl - Not U of Chicago, but Oxford. Zepher15’s “Astor Place” answer prompted me to just toally go crazy.</p>

<p>Liv, you may have to settle for Harvard next year. ;)</p>
<p>Hahaha Lorem, only if they make an enticing enough of an offer I just can’t refuse :)</p>
<p>The target freshman class at NU has been 2,025 for a number of years now. Typically enters anywhere from a bit lower than this to up to 100 higher. Suspect with summer melt the class of 2015 will be slightly overenrolled. Lots of available housing to accommodate these numbers. Don’t worry about doubles suddenly becoming triples :)</p>
<p>Bala - at this point it is more a question of reduction of admits for next year which concerns Liv a great deal as a 2012 applicant. I dont think she cares much if she has two roommates next year as long as she gets in!</p>
<p>I think they are waiting to assess the summer melt. I happened to chat with a Residential Life rep yesterday and she indicated there’s no real concern regarding housing. It’s highly likely that Admissions will need to go over their models and refine a few things, based on the increase in yield.</p>

<p>I wanted to make the point that a bit of overenrollment is typical and has little impact on the following year’s admit numbers. An increased class size is pure $ in the bank for the u. Those extra tuition dollars come in with essentially no increased cost - near pure profit. In this economy, you can see why many privates have intentionally increased class size while freezing hiring of profs and support staff. </p>
<p>And wouldn’t worry about this year’s admit #'s when thinking about 2012. Liv should worry about the increase in competitiveness/class stats year after year - esp this year.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when/if the College Board website updates a school’s stats? If you try to compare schools, NU still says it has a 24% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Mom Cares asks: Does anyone know when/if the College Board website updates a school’s stats? If you try to compare schools, NU still says it has a 24% acceptance rate. </p>
<p>Interesting, since I don’t know where the 24% number comes from. I just pulled the last 4 common data sets and get the following acceptance rates (unless my math is wrong, which is possible): 09-10 27%; 08-09 26%; 07-08 27%; 06-07 30%.</p>
<p>I suppose the answer is that NU reports data in some form to College Boards, and they either update when the new data comes in, or once a year, so people can do an apples to apples comparison.</p>
<p>18% in 2011.</p>
<p>University seats admitted Applied ED applied
Northwestern 2,128 5,573 30,925 715 2,127</p>
<p>I know a lot of kids who are creating their college lists now, and since the College Board website is outdated it’s currently very misleading about the odds of acceptance to NU.</p>
<p>I assume the average stats for test scores also need to be updated, though I don’t know if they changed as much this year as the % accepted numbers did.</p>
<p>It’s not misleading, the difference truly makes no difference to each individual applying. It’s not a safety for anyone; even if your numbers are in the ballpark it’s a crapshoot. If you’re interested in attending, apply, that’s the only way you’ll know if you will be admitted.</p>
<p>My understanding is it was 26% in 2009 and 23% in 2010 and 18% this year. No sure where 27% came from.</p>
