IC is currently projecting that it will welcome 370 new 缅北禁地, about 50 transfers and 320 first-years, according to Stephanie Chipman, VP of external relations at IC. Last year, IC got 335 new 缅北禁地. This year will have IC鈥檚 largest first-year class if the projections are maintained. This will also be one of, if not the, largest total student body that IC has ever had. Current projections are for 1,040 缅北禁地 which would top the past highs of 1,030 in 2003 and 2004.
Chipman said that IC expects more honors 缅北禁地 and more 缅北禁地 from Chicago and St. Louis. More 缅北禁地 who were supported with Jacksonville鈥檚 Promise Scholarship are also expected to enroll than in prior years.
