Egyetértek Dennyvel, hogy kifejezőbb lenne a mondat, ha lenne viszonyítási alap, de azzal nem, hogy a 77% more nem áll meg önmagában. Sajnos a viszonyítási alap az eredeti mondatban sincs és mégis megérjük. Valószínűleg a további szövegkörnyezet további értelmet ad a mondatnak.

Pl:
Columbia attracted 1,596 early-decision applicants compared with 1,498 the year before -- up almost 7 percent, said Eric J. Furda, the university's undergraduate-admissions director. Barnard has 15 percent more applicants over all, and early-decision applications are up as well.

Explanation:
Ágnes válasza nem értelmes, mert 77% more önmagában nem áll meg, nem fejezi ki azt, hogy a helyek száma a viszonyitási alap. Pl. az előző évi jelentkezők száma is lehetne viszonyitási alap. Helyesebben:
There were 77% more applications to the college than slots. - or something to that effect.

In view of your addition a heading could read as:
applications per space
but then the 77% should be written as 1.77
Overapplication and excessive application are both incorrect in my opinion.
