<p>did it go up or down this year? anyone have the stats?</p>
<p>I haven't seen any numbers and it's highly possible they haven't been released yet. The Sophian (Smith newspaper) would have at least a brief notice, I think, and I haven't seen it there, nor in any of the other occasional e-mails I receive from Smith. Last year's applications were a peak number, but so they were for many colleges, due purely to demographic pressures of the baby boom echo.</p>
