A boost in applications indicates a growing number of young people want to attend Texas Christian University, including record numbers from outside the state.
A decade ago, about 5,000 potential students applied to TCU. But Ray Brown, the dean of admission, says a record 19,000 have applied to attend the upcoming fall semester. He says 61 percent of the increase was from out of state.
The university will admit only about 1,800 freshmen.
