[QUOTE="Deep Purple, post: 2384383, member: 17"] As others have already noted, it's absolutely true that Baylor counts any random inquiry as an "application for admission." For what it's worth, SMU does the same thing. TCU counts only officially submitted, fee-paid application forms as applications for admission. There is no central body or independent standard that governs or oversees these application counts. The reported counts are up to the arbitrary counting standards of each individual institution, so they can fudge the numbers as much as they like. For the record, every year since 2010-2011, TCU has received 16,000-20,000 genuinely official applications -- completed application forms and fee-paid -- for 1,500-1,800 admissions slots. This year, we're closing on 20,000 applications yet again (19,400 at last report). Again, these are people who've actually filled out and submitted the forms and paid the application fee. Not people who simply call the Admission office and ask for a brochure. Both Baylor and SMU count such people as "applicants." [/QUOTE]
