<p>In this article, it reveals that over 14,000 high school students applied early action to UVa -- a double digit increase from last year's 10,822 early action applications. Good luck to all!</p>

<p>I can’t decide whether that makes me glad or not glad that ds is going RD.</p>
<p>I think in the end it doesn’t matter. From what I’ve read in the past, the Admissions Office likes to keep the percentage of EA and RD acceptances around the same. </p>
<p>…Although after reading the article, I do wonder if the 350 applicants who opt out in the EA round (because they were accepted ED somewhere else) somehow help the other EA applicants. Do they possibly give applicants a spot, who may have been put in the possible RD pile?</p>
<p>Good point. I wonder …</p>
<p>Applications are still being completed (Sandy slowed things down for folks up north). The numbers I have (again, which are still moving) aren’t at 14,000. I think the number will be lower than that. The dean was giving a group of colleagues a status update, not final data that was ready for publication.</p>
<p>EA schools always have some students pull their applications after getting in elsewhere ED. I don’t think that’s anything that should be causing any of you worry.</p>
<p>Wow! When I applied only about 10% of deferrees were admitted. That is great that 25%+ are being admitted now, at the same rate as regular decision applicants.</p>

<p>Not sure why my last comment was deleted along with GolfFather’s posting of the article. What did I miss? Examiner authors get paid per click, so maybe that’s the problem?</p>
<p>This website is more restrictive than most in allowing quotations of news articles. Most websites allow a couple paragraphs, but CC says one or two sentences.</p>
<p>It’s probably because [the</a> writers get paid per click](<a href=“http://writersweekly.com/the_latest_from_angelahoycom/005364_05132009.html]the”>How Much Are Examiner.com Writers Really Earning? | WritersWeekly.com).</p>
<p>Just to reiterate, the author attended a breakfast as a private counselor and shared unofficial, incomplete data that was discussed among colleagues.</p>
<p>Oh, the competition is going to be tough this year - not a good sign.</p>
<p>It’s always a competitive process. It looks like we will hit 14,000 for EA, but there’s no way of knowing the overall app number right now.</p>
