They had 96,000 applicants for fall of 2023 and only accepted 4000 (per an article that got pulled). That's a 4% acceptance rate so I'm extremely proud of her. She's worked very hard and pulled her grades way up from her freshman and sophomore years.
The downside, it'd cost us $77k/yr for her to go there. My wife and I do fairly well and if we cashed in our retirement and made her take loans, we could send her there. That wouldn't serve either of us well though.
It's great that student loans were forgiven, but the root cause needs to be fixed. The middle class gets really screwed on this.
EDIT: To be clear, I AM NOT cashing out my retirement. Mostly just ranting that it would be necessary.
