<p>this just made my day even worse… :(</p>

<p>If someone could tell me that “up” was a typo and that the writer meant “down,” my anxiety over the next 10 days would remain at a managable below panic-attack level instead of the pants-fouling level it would reach if I heard that my chances just decreased even further.</p>

12

<p>ahhh tell me about it…</p>

13

<p>Sorry I ruined your day. I’ve actually known this for a few weeks and was waiting for it to be in the BDH.</p>

14

<p>F&Rain: how did you know? Thought you’re an alum and interview kids. Are you also in admissions? (Just curious, not meant anymore than that.)</p>

15

<p>I don’t work in admissions, limabeans. But I have my sources.</p>

16

<p>“but I have my sources…”</p>

<p>Sounds so mysterious! But, in fact, the president of the university was including the increase in early decision applications as part of her prepared talk to large groups of alumni and parents several weeks ago.</p>

<p>Applications overall look like they’re going to be way up this year again.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Always leave 'em guessing. I just want to remain as anonymous as possible. </p>

<p>And I also heard that admissions is projecting another increase in applications.</p>
