<p>For the class of 2008 (this year's entering freshmen) there were 8108 applications for an entering class of 728-- 22% of applicants were admitted. Last year's statistic is a bit off-- the entering class last year was 716, not 751. There were over 500 ED applicants last year, but the # was lower this year. Jenskate-- do you recall the exact numbers??</p>

<p>Just to let you know, this week's Rice Thresher (the campus newspaper) reports that ED apps were down 13% to 480 this year. This follows a national trend of decreasing ED apps resulting from HYS being EA.</p>
