^ no. The deadline for early was Nov 1. Not January 31.
They included apps after the deadline to make the numbers look better. They provided no early app number info. The app count is a total of early and regular. For all we know they received 20k early apps and the early rate was 100%.
@vistajay from the article… “Florida State received nearly 57,000 first-year applications for admission to the 2019 summer and fall semesters before early notifications on Jan. 31.”
We would need the number before Nov 1 to calculate EA.
@bronze2 so I did. They do have a new article for this year but it just gives the overall total of applications 44000. They do say that they received 3% more applications… so ~29.5% would be this year’s early acceptance rate.

@bronze2 That is indeed a significant drop in apps (18.8%) for WashU from 2018 to 2019. (31,300 class of 2022 to the 25,400 class of 2023) WashU did require a supplemental essay for the first time this year, so that likely explains part of the decrease. Will be interesting to see if WashU addresses that, or if a reporter for the student newspaper writes an article on it.
@Mwfan1921 It could also be because they introduced the EDII option this year as well. I’m guessing the drop is somewhat similar to the drop UChicago had for their class of 2021 admissions cycle when they first implemented ED.

WashU ED1 + ED2 + RD ~3,556 out of ~25,400(~14%)
I’d be interested to know how much of their class WashU filled with ED Apps, since the number of admitted students dropped from ~4,700 to ~3,500, which could mean their yield this year would jump from the mid 30s to being close to 50% this year.
Also that 1500-1560 middle 50% SAT is a big jump from last year, like they’re emphasizing test scores in admissions even more than they were before.
