It’s another record year for applications. Boston U got 88,000 apps, SDSU took 99,000 in. UCLA was at 150,000 and UC Berkeley saw 148,000 freshman apps, with news that they will have to limit incoming students by about 5,000. Things continue to get tighter.
For some significant insight into how universities in the US spend their money and recruit students, I highly recommend Malcom Gladwell’s Revisionist History. He has three episodes that show just how incredibly rich these schools are and how sometimes that money is not spent on what is should/could. Revisionist History Season 1, Eps. 4-6 (Carlos Doesn’t Remember; Food Fight; My Little Hundred Million) Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
