College Admission Year-End Trends

College Bound Issues & Trends for the Colleges Admissions Advisor

More than 1.5 million students are planning to enroll in the 4,000 plus U.S. colleges and universities this fall. According to some reports, at least 20 percent of them sent off seven or more applications, chiefly to the most competitive schools, even though application fees can reach $50.

According to an April 22 Washington Post story, the nation’s most selective colleges received 31 percent of all applications, but will enroll only 18 percent of all freshmen. In fact, between 2002 and 2006, the average public and private four-year college or university received 24 percent more applications. In part, that results from mass marketing on the part of colleges and the ease of electronic submissions through vehicles such as the Common Application.

Multiple applications also mean multiple choices for many qualified students. But the ease of applications may be about to meet the difficult reality of paying for college, especially while the economy is still experiencing hard times. A sense of uncertainty about the entire process still prevails.

2010 may be viewed as having the largest pool of students and the most competitive admissions season ever…

Berkeley. The U. of California, Berkeley, attracted a record 50,375 applications for the class of 2014, and accepted 12,915 of them. Because of state funding cuts, fewer California applicants were admitted this year compared to last year, 9,420 for 2010-11 versus 11,200 for 2009-10. The campus hopes to enroll 4,100 students for fall 2010, and an additional 950 next spring. About 200 students were placed on Berkeley’s wait list.

Brown. Brown U. in Providence, Rhode Island, admitted a little over 9 percent of its 30,136 applications, or 2,804 students to its class of 2014. Last year, it admitted 11 percent, but applications for this fall shot up by about 21 percent, according to a statement issued by James Miller, dean of admission. Admitted students from California, Massachusetts and Illinois led the parade, and 53 percent of them were women. Brown also admitted international students from 81 nations. About two- thirds of the students will receive financial aid.

Chicago. The U. of Chicago attracted 19,370 applications this year, 42 percent more than last year. That drove down its acceptance rate from 27 percent last year to 18 percent or 3,560 students for the class of 2014.

Cornell. Cornell U., in Ithaca, New York, received 36,337 applicants and accepted 18 percent, down from 19 percent a year ago. The Ivy League school admitted 33 percent 11 years ago.

Dartmouth. Applications to Dartmouth C. in Hanover, New Hampshire, rose by 3.5 percent this year to a record high 18,778. It accepted 2,165 or 11.5 percent of applicants, a drop from 12.5 percent accepted last year. In December, the Ivy League college accepted 461 of 1,600 applicants through its early decision process. Dartmouth put 1,740 students on its wait list. Nearly 40 percent of accepted students were valedictorians and almost 12 percent were salutatorians. “Our applicant pool has grown by nearly 80 percent over the last decade… making the process of selecting students for Dartmouth much more complex.”

Duke. This year Duke, in Durham, North Carolina, (this year’s NCAA basketball champ) received 26,770 applications for the class of 2014 and accepted 3,372. This year’s acceptance rate of 14.8 percent made for the most selective class in the school’s history. Early Decision accounted for 602 of the students, and led to 150 fewer regular admits. Duke wait listed an astonishing 3,382 applicants

G.W. George Washington U. in Washington D.C. received 21,135 applications, a 6 percent increase over last year. It accepted 6,655 or 31.5 percent of the students, down from 36.5 last year. GW expects to field a first-year class of 2,350 students.

Harvard. Only 2,110 of the 30,489 applicants to Harvard will be welcomed to the class of 2014. That translated into a record low 6.9 percent acceptance rate, down from 7 percent last year. The 30,000 applications was an increase of 5 percent this year over last.

Johns Hopkins. Johns Hopkins U. attracted 18,455 applications, an increase of 14 percent over last year, and the eighth straight record year. It admitted 20.4 percent of these, down from 26.7 percent last year.

MIT. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also in Cambridge, accepted 1,611 or 9.7 percent of its 16,632 applicants for its 2014 class. In 2003, MIT’s acceptance rate was 16.4 percent. Early admissions applications for this year increased 13 percent to 5,684, while 590 were admitted early action. MIT boosted its wait list by more than half to 722. Last year, MIT admitted 80 from its wait list.

Northwestern. Northwestern U. in Evanston, Illinois, admitted 23 percent of its applicants, down by 4 percent from last year, from a pool that grew by 9 percent.

Penn. The U. of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia admitted 3,830 students or 14.2 percent of its 26,938 applicants, down from 17.1 percent last year. Penn expects to enroll 2,420 new students in the fall.

Princeton. Princeton U. attracted 26,247 applications, up by nearly 20 percent. It accepted 2,148 students for an 8.18 admit rate, down from 9.79 last year.

Stanford. Stanford U. in Palo Alto, California, accepted 2,300 students, including the 753 admitted in December through its early action program, from its record high 32,022 applications for the class of 2014. That was a record low 7.2 percent, making it the second most selective program in the nation, edging out Yale. About 20 transfer students will be admitted, while 998 are on the wait list.

Tufts. It was also tough to get into Tufts this year. The Massachusetts school fielded 15,437 applications, the school’s third largest pool, and admitted 24.5 percent of them. About 32 percent of those accepted are students of color. About 91 percent were in the top 10 percent of their high schools.

Tulane. Administrators at Tulane U. estimate it “received more applications than any other private university in the nation, outranking “sister schools” Vanderbilt, Duke and Emory. In fact, 43,834 students applied to Tulane.

U. Cal. When all was said and done, The U. of California received 82,056 California applications, and nearly 71.6 percent of applicants were offered admission to at least one of its nine campuses.

Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt in Tennessee attracted 21,817 applications for 1,600 spots in the class of 2014, an increase of 13 percent over last year. Its admit rate slid from 18.9 percent in 2009 to 16.3 percent.

Villanova. This year, 14,367 students applied to Villanova U. in Pennsylvania, and 5,998 of them were offered a place in the class of 2014. That translates into a 41 percent admissions rate, down 5.3 percent from last year.

Virginia. The U. of Virginia fielded 22,516 applications for the class of 2014 and 7,964 of those were in-state applicants. Offers of admission were extended to 6,907 students, 600 more than last year. The acceptance rate for in-state students was 42.4 percent, for out-of-state students just 24 percent.

Wash U. Washington U. in St. Louis drew nearly 25,000 applicants this year, a record, and admitted about 20 percent, the same as last year. It expects to enroll about 1,500 first-year students in the fall.

Yale. Yale U. in New Haven, Connecticut, accepted 1,940 students from an applicant pool of 25,869, 134 fewer than last year. Because it admitted fewer students, its 7.5 percent acceptance rate remained the same as last year. It wait-listed 932 students, 21 percent more than last year.

Rejected!

Colleges’ Rejects Who Made it Big The Wall Street Journal. April 28, 2010

Few events arouse more teenage angst than the springtime arrival of college rejection letters. With next fall's college freshman class expected to approach a record 2.9 million students, hundreds of thousands of applicants will soon be receiving the dreaded letters.

Famous college rejects Teenagers who face rejection will join good company, including Nobel laureates, billionaire philanthropists, university presidents, constitutional scholars, best-selling authors and other leaders of business, media and the arts who once received college or graduate-school rejection letters of their own.

Both Warren Buffett and "Today" show host Meredith Vieira say that while being rejected by the school of their dreams was devastating, it launched them on a path to meeting life-changing mentors. Harold Varmus, the winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1989, says getting rejected twice by Harvard Medical School, where a dean advised him to enlist in the military, was soon forgotten as he plunged into his studies at Columbia University's med school.

For other college rejects, from Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy and entrepreneur Ted Turner to broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw, the turndowns were minor footnotes but ones they still remember and will talk about.

Rejections aren't uncommon. Harvard accepts only a little more than 7% of the 29,000 undergraduate applications it receives each year, and Stanford University's acceptance rate is about the same.

Buffett: 'Turned out for the better' "The truth is, everything that has happened in my life . . . that I thought was a crushing event at the time has turned out for the better," Buffett says. With the exception of health problems, he says, setbacks teach "lessons that carry you along. You learn that a temporary defeat is not a permanent one. In the end, it can be an opportunity."

Buffett regards his rejection at age 19 by Harvard Business School as a pivotal episode in his life. Looking back, he says, Harvard wouldn't have been a good fit. But at the time, he "had this feeling of dread" after being rejected in an admissions interview in Chicago and a fear of disappointing his father. As it turned out, his father responded with "only this unconditional love . . . an unconditional belief in me," Buffett says. Exploring other options, he realized that two investing experts he admired, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, were teaching at Columbia's graduate business school. He dashed off a late application, where by a stroke of luck it was fielded and accepted by Dodd.

From these mentors, Buffett says, he learned core principles that guided his investing. The Harvard rejection also benefited his alma mater: His family gave more than $12 million to Columbia in 2008 through the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, based on tax filings. The lesson of negatives becoming positives has proved true repeatedly, Buffett says. He was terrified of public speaking -- so much so that when he was young he sometimes threw up before giving an address. So he enrolled in a Dale Carnegie public-speaking course and says the skills he learned there enabled him to woo his future wife, Susan Thompson, a "champion debater," he says. "I even

6 proposed to my wife during the course," he says. "If I had been only a mediocre speaker I might not have taken it."

Bollinger: 'I need to work extra hard' Columbia University President Lee Bollinger was rejected as a teenager when he applied to Harvard. He says the experience cemented his belief that it was up to him alone to define his talents and potential. His family had moved to rural Oregon, where educational opportunities were sparse. As a kid, he did menial jobs around a newspaper office, such as sweeping the floor. Bollinger recalls thinking at the time: "I need to work extra hard and teach myself a lot of things that I need to know," to measure up to other students who were "going to prep schools and having assignments that I'm not." When the Harvard rejection letter arrived, Bollinger accepted a scholarship to the University of Oregon and later graduated from Columbia Law School. His advice: Don't let rejections control your life.

To "allow other people's assessment of you to determine your own self-assessment is a very big mistake," says Bollinger, a First Amendment author and scholar. "The question really is, who at the end of the day is going to make the determination about what your talents are and what your interests are? That has to be you."

Others who received Harvard rejections include Vieira, who was turned down in 1971 as a high school senior. At the time, she was crushed. "In fact, I was so devastated that when I went to Tufts (University in nearby Medford, Mass.) my freshman year, every Saturday I'd hitchhike to Harvard," she says in an e-mail. But Vieira went on to meet a mentor at Tufts who sparked her interest in journalism by offering her an internship. Had she not been rejected, she doubts that she would have entered the field.

Brokaw, also rejected as a teenager by Harvard, says it was one of a series of setbacks that eventually led him to settle down, stop partying and commit to finishing college and working in broadcast journalism. "The initial stumble was critical in getting me launched," he says.

Finding a place where you're welcome Varmus, the president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, was daunted by the first of his two turndowns by Harvard's med school. He enrolled instead in grad studies in literature at Harvard but was uninspired by thoughts of a career in that field. After a year, he applied again to Harvard's med school and was rejected, by a dean who chastised him in an interview for being "inconstant and immature" and advised him to enlist in the military. Officials at Columbia's medical school, however, seemed to value his "competence in two cultures," science and literature, he says.

If rejected by the school you love, Varmus advises in an e-mail, immerse yourself in life at a college that welcomes you. "The differences between colleges that seem so important before you get there will seem a lot less important once you arrive at one that offered you a place." Similarly, John Schlifske, the president of insurance company Northwestern Mutual, was discouraged as a teenager when he received a rejection letter from Yale University. An aspiring college football player, "I wanted to go to Yale so badly," he says. He recalls coming home from school the day the letter arrived. "Mom was all excited and gave it to me," he says. His heart fell when he saw "the classic thin envelope," he says. "It was crushing."

Yet he believes he had a deeper, richer experience at Carleton College in Minnesota. He says he received a "phenomenal" education and became a starter on the football team rather than a bench warmer, as he might have been at Yale. "Being wanted is a good thing," he says.

He had a chance to pass on that wisdom to his son Dan, who was rejected in 2006 by one of his top choices, Duke University. Drawing on his own experience, the elder Schlifske told his son, "Just because somebody says no doesn't mean there's not another school out there you're going to enjoy and where you are going to get a good education." Dan ended up at his other top choice, Washington University in St. Louis, where he is a senior.

McNealy showed 'em Rejected once, and then again, by business schools at Stanford and Harvard, McNealy practiced the perseverance that would characterize his career. A brash economics graduate of Harvard, he was annoyed that "they wouldn't take a chance on me right out of college," he says. He kept trying, taking a job as a plant foreman for a manufacturer and working his way up in sales. "By my third year out of school, it was clear I was going to be a successful executive. I blew the doors off my numbers," McNealy says. Granted admission to Stanford's business school, he met future Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla and went on to head Sun for 22 years. Paul Purcell, who heads Robert W. Baird, one of the few investment-advisory companies to emerge unscathed from the recession, says he interpreted his rejection years ago by Stanford as evidence that he had to work harder. "I took it as a signal that, 'Look, the world is really competitive, and I'll just try harder next time,'" he says. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame and got an MBA from the University of Chicago, and in 2009, as the chairman, president and chief executive of Baird, won the University of Chicago Booth School of Business distinguished corporate alumnus award. Baird has remained profitable through the recession and expanded client assets to $75 billion.

Time puts rejection letters in perspective, Turner says. He received dual rejections as a teenager, from Princeton and Harvard. The future America's Cup winner attended Brown University, where he became captain of the sailing team. He left college after his father cut off financial support and joined his father's billboard company, which he built into the media empire that spawned CNN. Brown has since awarded him a bachelor's degree.

Tragedies later had a greater impact on his life, Turner says, including the loss of his father to suicide and his teenage sister to illness. "A rejection letter doesn't even come close to losing loved ones in your family. That is the hard stuff to survive," Turner says. "I want to be sure to make this point: I did everything I did without a college degree." While it is better to have a degree, Turner says, "you can be successful without it."
