2011 seems to be a popular year for high school seniors to apply to Texas Christian University (TCU). This year 19,000 students have applied. In the fall of 2010 over 14,000 students applied to TCU a little over 7,000 were accepted (50% acceptance rate) and 25% of those who applied enrolled. Since this year 19,000 students have applied it will be interesting to see what the admissions office will do. The admissions office could accept more people but not beyond a certain amount since there are only so many dorms freshman can live on campus. I have a feeling 2011 may be one of the most selective years in TCU history. The acceptance rate has been declining since 1979. One big reason I think kids are applying to TCU is because of the football team winning the Rose Bowl and the TCU baseball team was also in the college world series last year. Although, this is nice I would rather have TCU known for its academics rather than its athletics.
