<p>Here are some just released application numbers for some top LACs. These numbers are for the class of 2010. Feel free to add more as they are announced...</p>
<p>Williams College: 5960 applications (up 2.3% from last year's total of 5822)
Amherst College: 6126 applications (down 2% from last year's total of 6274)
Middlebury College: 6187 applications (up 18% from last year's total of 5225)
Bowdoin College: ~5400 applications (up 7% from last year's total of 5026)</p>
<p>Why would Amherst be down?</p>
<p>Not clear. A difference of 2% is not significant.</p>
<p>Even tho it's not a LAC, when i went for an NYU interview for their HEOP/C-Step program, they told us that they receieved around 35,000 applicants and are only accepting more or less 4,000!! </p>
<p>Now that lowers my confidence a whole lot lol</p>
<p>Arcadia, where did you find the Bowdoin numbers? I haven't been able any.</p>
<p>Nevermind, it was embedded in the "New Dean of Admissions" bulliten. Next time, I'll learn not to skim.</p>
<p>Will someone tell me what a LAC is? ::feels stupid::</p>
<p>liberal arts college</p>
<p>ooohhhhh.... it all makes sense now. Thanks.</p>
