But not surprising. In 2001, the college I was accepted to also accepted a record number of students. Every year since then, the number of accepted students increased. The first year drop out rate also increased every year, to mirror the accepted rate. The number of graduates stayed the same, though. The only conclusion I could come up with is the college was purposely accepting people they knew wouldn't be able to pass the first year. They fudged the numbers to maintain their graduation and placement rates AND they got the extra cash from gullible first year students.
