This is a record for us. As is the 22,500 freshman applications.

We just enrolled 700 some odd freshman. lol That should add perspective to what we accomplish at Tulsa.

Maybe you should find more normal freshmen instead of relying on odd freshmen.

This. Odd freshmen don't attend athletic events.

You know what that tells me? Fallback school.

If these numbers are correct UCF had 81,680 applications for the '16-'17 year.

• 54,521 of those were for the Fall '16 semester
• 25,883 were FTIC's (First time in college), overall 36,136 FTIC's applied for last year.
• 11,383 (44%) of those were accepted in Fall '16, overall 18,074 (50%) FTIC's were accepted last year.
• We enrolled 3,536 in Fall '16 (~13.6%), and 6,901 overall (19%)

Then you can't be that smart. Yale had 31,000 applicants last year. Fallback schools are defined by acceptance rate, not quantity of applicants.

Houston's acceptance rate: 60%

Meaning 13,200 kids were accepted but nearly 2/3rd's decided NOT to go there.

You didn't cite that stat in your initial post. You tried to troll Houston with its high number of applicants. You're only bringing up acceptance rate now because I called you out on it.

Keep this up and you'll be repeating another year at Troll Academy. Headmistress BC1 will not be pleased to hear this.

Quality over quantity, any day.

I'm proud to say that I would not be accepted to ECU today, if I tried again with my High School GPA.

I graduated HS with a 2.5 GPA and scored a 1310 on the SAT (out of 1600... don't know why they changed it.)

My guidance counselor told me "This discrepancy just shows colleges that you're very smart, but very lazy."

I just didn't like doing homework...

Sorry, it's a commonly known fact among Tulsa fans that Houston is a glorified High School. "Cougar High"

Let's kick Tulsa out for ignorance.

Large Metropolitan Universities have a different mission than some small private school. There's more smart kids in the honors program at a Houston or Memphis than in your entire school.

They're just not smarter than our smart kids. Gotcha.

This comment is so UH.

How's Tulsa look in the academic rankings? Really never thought of them in terms of academics like a smu or Tulane but would be impressed if I was wrong.

The 5,000 number is for the main campus only.
It does not include UH satellites: Downtown, Clear lake, Katy or Sugarland.

Kids enroll at the satellites due to distance and latter many transfer to the main campus. Katy is approximately 31 miles from the main campus. Driving that for 4 years would cost a car, a lot of petrol, and a lot of time.

One could say much in comparing Tulsa and UH. We should refrain from comparisons.

UCONN and its 36,000 applicants are ranked higher...

Similar situation for me with at Temple. Acceptance rate has dropped about 9% within a few years. I just graduated this year but might have a little more trouble getting in if I applied today lol.

Obviously, you didn't major in math.

No. There's as many "smart" kids at both schools. Houston just lets in more students, cause it isn't a daycare for spoiled rich kids.
