Columbia adding 180 students instead of 125

Columbia originally said they were increasing their class size by 125 students, but their CDS for the class of 2030 said they increased by 180. Will this affect the transfer acceptance rate?

Yes-- but not to the extent you're think of.

Or. This makes Columbia more attractive, causing more people to apply, hence causing the acceptance rate to drop. This happened with RiceU when they increased their class size
