What happened at Penn State this year?

It looks like this thread has a lot more questions than answers, but doesn't a retention rate of only 60% seem low as well? What is the dynamic there?

I think that this might have something to do with the fact that more sophs rush there than at your average big school and they probably know where they want to go going in, and if they don't get it, they drop out.

LT - I can prob find ASA figures but will PM them to you.
