Zero correlation to being ranked in the Top 25 in both football and basketball in 2012.

I would expect that increased applications would have to help the academic strength.  The only way it can't is if all of the increase in applications are sub-par students.  Below is the 2011 Ohio University GPA/ACT/SAT admittance chart.  Just rough estimate based on the blue dots, but it appears around 15% of Ohio's 2011 applicants scored 30+ on ACT, 45% were between 24-29 on ACT, and 40% scored 23 or lower on ACT. In 2011, there were around 12,500 applicants, so based on estimates above, let's approximate the following breakdown of applicants: Tier 1: (30+ ACT): 1,875 Applicants Tier 2: (24-29 ACT): 5,625 Applicants Tier 3: (23 or below):  5,000 Applicants TOTAL : 12,500 If 1/3rd of Tier 1 students actually enroll, 1/3rd of Tier 2 and then the rest of Ohio's freshmen are filled in by the Tier 3.  The 2011 freshman population might look close to this: Tier 1 (30+ACT): 625 Freshmen Tier 2 (24-29 ACT): 1,873 Freshmen Tier 3 (23 or below): 1,402 Freshmen TOTAL: 3,900 Freshmen In 2013, assuming the applicants have same basic ACT percentages, then we could expect to see: Tier 1: (30+ACT): 3,075 Applicants Tier 2: (24-29 ACT): 9,225 Applicants Tier 3: (23 or below): 8,200 Applicants TOTAL: 20,500 Applicants If 1/3rd of Tier 1 students enroll, 1/3rd of Tier 2 and remaining population is filled in with Tier 3, 2013 Freshmen class might look like: Tier 1: (30+ACT): 1,024 Freshmen Tier 2: (24-29 ACT: 3,075 Freshmen Tier 3: (23 or below):  -74 Freshmen TOTAL: 4,025 Freshmen With a nearly 65% increase in enrollments in two years and only 3-4% increase in Freshmen on campus, the academic strength has to increase.  Otherwise, you're assuming the 8,000 more applicants are all in the Tier 3 level or all of the Tier 1/2 applicants decide to go elsewhere. collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/ohio-university-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm

I see someone got rejected with a 4.0 and an ACT score in the mid-30s. I would like to know that kid's story.

There is also someone with a perfect score and perfect gpa who was wait-listed.
 

There must be a character issue. Family relations to Miami or Akron?
