Thoughts on the increasing number of applicants yearly at PUP?

A whopping additional 25k. What are the possible reasons behind this increase noh? I am amazed kasi parang naging mas kilala yung "danas experience" sa PUP nung nakaraan na taon pero marami pa ring gustong mag-apply haha.

Just thinking about how harder it would be to get in if the number of applicants keep on increasing yet the number of those admitted will remain the same. Sana talaga hindi na tayo magdudusa sa budget cut para mas maraming students ang pwedeng i-accomodate :((

edit: kaka-calculate ko lang at parang 9.6% ang acceptance rate
