With freshman enrollment for fall 2012 at an all-time high, the university now plans to decrease the number of incoming freshman admitted, at least for the next few years, according to an enrollment report presented at the University Council meeting Tuesday. The incoming freshman class grew from about 7,700 last year to about 8,100 this year, according to the report. MSU Provost Kim Wilcox at the University Council meeting MSU had more success in attracting incoming freshmen than expected. “We have to make an educated guess on who is likely to come based on prior years,” Wilcox said. According to the report, the university projects to admit fewer freshmen in the coming years — about 7,700 in 2013, 7,500 in 2014 and 7,300 in 2015 and 2016.
