Does this delay mean they had an exceptionally high number of ed applicants?

I wonder if a Saturday announcement is indicative of a much larger than normal ED pool this fall! Ugh. 2pm Saturday canât get here soon enough.

the duke chronicle and/or duke today usually release news articles with the numbers (ED applicant pool size, # accepted for each trinity and pratt, overall acceptance rate, etc). it usually comes out between 2-4 pm the day ED comes out.

Definitely. They never release on Saturday. Plus, the largest #of applicants they had was in 2020, when decision were released late December 18th

Did anyone get a email regarding STRONGBOX?
I have a strong feeling the number of ED applications will be up materially from last year. It is what it is, and donât worry about that which you cannot control.

UVA released ED stats this afternoon. Their ED applications were up 23% over last yearâs numbers. I donât think that will be an anomaly.

this is so unforch, but i agree w u beefstew2. thereâs no other reason they would break their release day tradition of the past however many years of releasing on thurs or friâŠand they choose SATURDAY. theyâre definitely taking this week to make more decisions, and i donât think theyâve finished making decisions like other ED schools releasing this week have ex: upenn.
im still in denial bruh guess iâd better finish my RDs before saturday </3

Does everone have the mid year grades awaiting status on portal?
1 Like
yes, thatâs normal. after all, we canât send in midyear grades if our first semesters arenât over yet.
But if you are accepted ED, wouldnât they only want to see end-of-year grades? And if the decision is a denial, they wouldnât care about them, right?
i wouldnât overthink it. the fact that they pushed the ED release date to saturday makes me think theyâre still going thru apps and making decisions, so i doubt theyâve had the time to update the portal about who theyâre requesting mid-year grades from (and a lot of people might not even be accepted/rejected/deferred on their end yet lol). besides, if youâre deferred ED, you are moved to the RD pool and theyâll still want your mid-year.
