Applications Growth - Class of 2014

Parents Forum
1

<p>Last year there was a really interesting thread titled "Applications Growth - Class of 2013"</p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/631215-applications-growth-class-2013-a.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/631215-applications-growth-class-2013-a.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Now that more and more schools' RD deadline has passed or will soon pass, it would be great to have one thread dedicated to this subject. It is an interesting way of comparing how successful schools are doing with their recruitment efforts, as well as calculating one's chances. It is also a clue as to how the economy is affecting people's choices. Often this information is trumpeted in a school press release, campus newspaper, or local newspaper. On the other hand, decreases are usually buried somewhere.</p>
