Notable Admission Rate Changes for the Class of 2021
Given how sophisticated colleges have become in recruiting applicants, it's dangerous to rely on old admissions data.
We've taken a look at our coverage universe and identified schools with notable admission rate differences between the Class of 2021 and the Class of 2020. In addition to providing the admission rates, we've included some commentary to explain why as well as a link back to the source article.
Relative to last year, the number of schools with notable changes has doubled. Unfortunately, the news from the majority of schools listed is not in your favor, and depending on how you categorize schools, the change may be enough to turn a likely into a target or target into a reach. On the flip side, we've also identified a few schools where rates have become more favorable due to declining applications or expanded admissions. Regardless, take a moment to review the list—the last thing anyone needs at this point is a surprise!
