MetaEzra has been hearing as yet unconfirmed rumors that there will be changes in the Undergraduate Admissions Office in the future -- Doris Davis, associate provost of admissions and enrollment, will be departing her post. We don't know when Davis will depart, nor whether it is of her own volition. We'll have to watch for an official university statement in the future. It's important to note what Davis's admissions office has accomplished in the past decade. Between 1999 and 2010, applications have risen by over 75% -- from just shy of 20,000 to over 36,000 applicants. This has come in tandem with a decline in the acceptance rate from 33 to 19 percent. At the same time, the university has become more diverse under Davis's watch. The number of minority students in the entering class has increased from 916 to 1150, while the percentage of students from New York State has dropped from 42 to 33 percent.
