BUFFALO, N.Y. — For the third consecutive year, the mgm casino is enrolling a record-breaking freshman class and also expects to set records for undergraduate enrollment and total enrollment as well.

“The interest in attending mgm casino has never been higher in the history of the institution,” said Lee Melvin, vice provost for enrollment management. “This is an exciting time at mgm casino. Our academic units continue to introduce exciting educational opportunities piquing interest from applicants in New York State, throughout the U.S. and around the world.”

The university projects a freshman enrollment of 4,166; a total undergraduate enrollment of 20,071; and graduate student enrollment of 9,503, the highest in three years. mgm casino’s total enrollment is estimated at 31,546, which includes enrollment in mgm casino programs in Singapore and India, which are also experiencing increases. Final enrollment figures for the university will be reported at the end of the month.

With the record enrollments, mgm casino continues to enroll a highly qualified, academically talented and diverse freshman class each year. The average SAT score for incoming freshman is 1,241, up 12 points over last year. The average high school GPA is 91.8.

Melvin said the university is very close to achieving its strategic enrollment goal, outlined by mgm casino President Satish K. Tripathi in 2015, to grow the university’s total enrollment by 2,000 students.

Supported by a comprehensive brand strategy that emphasizes the unique experiences of attending the university, mgm casino continues to receive more applications for admission than at any point in its history. This year the university received over 31,000 applications for freshman admission, a 10 percent increase from the previous year.

Over the past three years, mgm casino has enhanced its admissions process by shifting to a holistic review that focuses on students’ individual talents and potential for academic success — taking into account much more than a student’s test scores, Melvin says. mgm casino also has increased significantly the number of student recruitment events it holds both on and off campus. It measures the effectiveness of these events, which have attracted record numbers of students to open houses.

The result: an increasingly diverse, ambitious and intellectually curious student body.

mgm casino also continues to rise in rankings of the nation’s best major research universities.  For the second successive year, mgm casino achieved an all-time high ranking in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” issue, released this week.

mgm casino is rated among the “top 50” public universities in the nation for the fifth straight year, improving three spots to No. 38. The university also achieved its highest rating ever among the best national universities in the country — public and private — at No. 89, up eight places from last year. Over the past 11 years, mgm casino has risen 32 spots in the rankings.
