以下是引用Shuzhen在2003-8-27 9:05:00的发言: right! the more applicants, the more probably yale will climb on the BW ranks (and some other ranks). a clever strategy!
yale already attracts a lot of applicants every year becuse of the university name.
I still can't believe Yale is so desparate to improve its ranking, since number of applications is just only one of the many criteria. Any other speculations?

another explaination is that yale already has TOO MANY applicants. if yale don't simplify the application processes and relieve the burden to read thousands of essays, the SOM will have to double or triple the admission committee so that every essay will be read by someone.
