<p>Does anybody know how many people applied early this year? Yale and Georgetown are increased by about a third. Any projections for NU?</p>
<p>probably went up, i doubt it went up by like 38% or whatever insane percentage yale had. probably 10ish percent.</p>
<p>Oh my... Yale up 38%??? That's insanity. Stupid Harvard and Princeton getting rid of their early admission... I hope Northwestern's didn't go up >10%! xD</p>
<p>Yale's and Gtown's are both non-binding. Therefore, kids who might have applied early last year to schools like Harvard or Princeton can now fill their non-binding early application(s) with their next highest choice(s). Almost all non-binding EA schools have been affected by this. </p>
<p>However, NU is obviously binding ED. A kid who still wants to go to Harvard isn't going to apply to NU during the ED cycle, obviously. I would expect binding ED application numbers at all schools with similar processes to stay the same.</p>
<p>I'm surprised Stanford's EA rate didn't go up, even though BC's did immensely. They're both SCEA too... Hmm...</p>
<p>I think there's usually around 1,300 or so people applying ED to NU. ~572 people were admitted last year.</p>
<p>i don't think bc's rise in SCEA applicants had anything to do with harvard and princeton getting rid of ED. Remember that Class of 2008 is the biggest class yet =) That may be a reason</p>
<p>Stanford not going up at all is very strange though, but I bet no one's complaining about it!</p>
<p>I think Stanford's SCEA applicant numbers actually went down by a few hundred people too. Hahaha.</p>
<p>BC is not SCEA, its Restricted EA, which just means you can't apply ED somewhere as well as EA to BC, but you can apply to other EA schools</p>
<p>^ I just read BC's website. You're right, but my counselor received a list of SCEA schools and BC was on there. That's odd...</p>
