Auburn has the best PR department in the entire universe for this number to continue to be quoted.
so you claim Auburn lies about this?

The demand for an Auburn degree has never been greater, with the university recently topping 55,000 first-year student applications for fall 2024 — yet another all-time high.
The record number of applications for the fall semester is a 14% increase from fall 2023 — when the university experienced a previous record of 48,000 first-year student applications.
“It is exciting to once again see so many students demonstrating a strong interest in joining the Auburn Family,” said Joffery Gaymon, Auburn’s vice president for enrollment. “As we focus on efforts of greater access to underserved areas, we are working hard to build connections and further grow our applicant numbers.”
Among the more than 55,000 applications received for fall 2024, the applicant pool included more than 12,000 Alabama residents, with representation from every county in the state and all states in the nation. All totaled, 39% of applicants secured admissions, with 34% hailing from Alabama. Additionally, 25% of the admitted students were from an underrepresented background, further emphasizing the university’s dedication to access.

I think it’s largely a clever but misleading way to present information that omits a few important pieces of information - much like your post does.
quote:
The university’s early action application deadline was Feb. 1, and the 2024 admissions cycle will conclude with a regular decision release in early March.
This all centers around the Early Action period, which admits the most highly qualified candidates early, while deferring the rest of the decisions until the traditional spring deadline.
With the common application now in place, and everyone experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of applications, the emphasis on Early Action numbers is unnecessary, as admission rates have dropped as a whole for everyone.
However, Auburn has pivoted, two years in a row now, to reporting only Early Action numbers. It’s clearly a deliberate PR move and it’s worked. A school with a historical average of 80% acceptance rate has now convinced the nation that they’re difficult to get into.
