<p>at CMC this fall 2009? I saw a report that Pomona was up 4%, but CMC seems not to have reported this.</p>
<p>don’t hold your breath…last year, the first word of ED1 apps numbers (growth number only) came to CC via someone hearing the CMC dean of admissions mention it…not in a report. Here’s last year’s ED1 growth first mentioned in late November (post 66):

<p>3/31/09 was the first printed article I recall seeing for CMC class of 2013 applicants, which included RD & ED numbers:
[CMC</a> Defies Liberal Arts Trend with Steady Applicant Numbers The Forum](<a href=“http://cmcforum.com/news/03312009-cmc-defies-liberal-arts-trend-with-steady-applicant-numbers]CMC”>http://cmcforum.com/news/03312009-cmc-defies-liberal-arts-trend-with-steady-applicant-numbers)</p>
<p>so, bottom line, given CMC’s reporting history, they may not report their numbers until later this spring.</p>

<p>Acceptance letters stated that this year’s ED applicants numbers were higher than last year’s “record number”. Doesn’t say how much higher, though.</p>
