Re: Class of 2016
I can tell you that the total number of freshmen applications for 2011-2012 was 28,197 (9,805 admitted, or 35%) and total applications for all students in all programs for all semesters was 44,521 (admitted 17,735, or 40%).
So those are the numbers to beat.

I haven't seen anything in the press or on FAU's website, so either it's a story they're not interested in or we haven't reached a new record for applications, which is really what those stories are about.

Wow! Is that really correct? A 35% acceptance rate would make us one of the toughest schools in the Southeast to get into.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

MJ wants our Freshman classes to be 4,000+ until we get to 36,000 total or whatever # she wants. Also, we made the list of top 200 most selective schools in the country (don't know where the link is) along with UCF, USF, FIU, FSU and UF.

We won't know final numbers until a couple weeks into the semester. Our middle 50% profile went up a bit from last year. The new requirements are up here:FAU - Freshman Requirements. Last year was 3.2 - 3.8, 1530 -1720, 22-26.
I'll just re-post the numbers here for convenience:
The fall 2012 freshman profile for the mid- 50% was as follows:
High School GPA: 3.35 - 3.95
ACT composite: 23 - 27
SAT total: 1560 - 1770

When we hit 40,000, that's when we're a "large" or "big time" school. That should be the goal. Could likely take another 5 years to get there though.
