<p>Do we have the numbers yet?.. is the # of apps up or down?.. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>No official numbers have been released as we are still counting. Actually, the discussion of Application #s are part of a contest currently on the Hopkins Insider blog:</p>
<p>"For the first time in admissions history, New Jersey, New York and Maryland were surpassed by California as the state that generated the most applications."
-Californians =D hehe take over lol</p>
<p>kasey i think that online issue (issue date is probably misleading) just recently came online after the post by admission daniel...anyhow...i blame nu's phenomenal increase on the movie the devil wears prada...it's even on youtube lol =D
edit: jk...probably due to their first year on common app...atleast i think it is their first year</p>
<p>The News-Letter article is not false ... but it only provides an estimate on what the final total will be. Once we are ready to reveal the final total of 2007 applications, it will be released on the Hopkins Insider blog.</p>
<p>Northwestern's increase is due to going to Common Application, and because it is a fantastic school.</p>
<p>yea, penn also adopted common app this year also hence their 9% increase besides being a great school! =D</p>
<p>yay! the increase is great. keep it up!</p>
<p>14,840</p>

<p>I want soze to read my app!!</p>
<p>Me too! Besides, dogs have always liked me. :D Good boy Soze, admit me, c'mon.</p>
<p>14840?!?</p>
<p>...Well, I'm screwed for next year, it seems. :o</p>
<p>Will the acceptance rate increase any? After all, I'd think that the matriculation percentage would be a bit lower, too.</p>
<p>even if the acceptance rate doesn;t increase and stays the same, more people will be admitted so it should balance out the lower yield rate</p>
<p>The acceptance rate will drop. (Please do not ask by how much because we will not determine that until we finalize decisions at the end of March.)</p>
<p>The increase in applications is not the only reason why the acceptance rate will drop. Two years ago Johns Hopkins had a 35% acceptance rate and we over-enrolled. That year we had an application increase similar to this year. Last year the acceptance rate dropped to 27% overall after a 23% increase in applications. We once again over-enrolled. Two years of over-enrolling with sizable increases in applications means that our yield has continued to improve at the same time that our app. pool has grown.</p>
<p>We do not want to over-enroll this year and with another increase in applications it is clear that the acceptance rate will need to drop.</p>
<p>The overall quality of the applications - has it stayed the same, increased, or decreased?</p>
<p>"Two-thousand and seventy applications from African-American, Latino and Native American students were reviewed in 2007, a stark contrast to 1,220 from three years ago. "

i wonder if the demographics for this year will change substantially=D</p>
<p>cwatson - just as I can't discuss what the admit rate will be as we have yet to finish the full evaluation process, there is no way I can detail what the overall quality of the applicants will be this year. </p>
<p>just from my own personal reads, it seems that quality is the same if not better than last year...but this is only speculation.</p>
<p>I understand, really interested to see overall trends at top 30 or so schools - that if underqualified applicants are applying because of the common app. Conversely, maybe more qualified applicants are applying because of it, thus making the overall quality of applicants the same.</p>
<p>Guys, maybee this question was answered somewhere else, but when are our decisions coming out? Does any body have statistics on international applicants this year?</p>
<p>Decisions will be released the last week in March, prior to April 1st. We do not know the specific date yet, and will not know until a day or two before we actually release decisions -- so please do not continually ask.</p>
<p>As with all other admissions stats, we will not release data on international applicants until decisions have been released.</p>
