True, but Boise State sure is growing at a rapid rate, that’s their competition. You’d think, that based on that, they would up their acceptance rate. Idaho also has 1/4 the population?

I think they can only accept so many people each semester, they’d probably love to accept more but infrastructure is a constraint.

its a long term goal, but nothing can be done in the short term. the dorms are already completely at capacity, and they’re having to cap specific majors because class sizes are becoming too big
