<p>interesting article.....early apps up, RD apps down</p>
<p>When I started this thread I was amazed that Ed numbers appeared to be up given the state of the economy. It seemed counterintuitive. Well, I guess people were in shock and there was a delayed reaction to those halved 401ks and disappearing HELOCs. Now I guess we'll begin to see the effects of this new financial reality.</p>
<p>I wonder if most ED applicants estimated individual school's expected financial aid. I understand there are list of schools giving the (demonstrated or not) need base financial aids; however, there are substantial differences of aid amounts among schools even within the same income blanket.</p>

"A lot of Ivy League kids are applying as a backup, and that complicates admissions for the average student," Leger said. "It might push them out" because those students, who typically are stronger applicants, might not have applied to public colleges in the past.</p>
<p>Yet Leger speculated that some students are mainly interested in state colleges as financial backups and will attend more prestigious private schools if they can find a way to pay. She pointed out that most students apply to a range of schools to boost their chances of admission and compare multiple financial aid packages.</p>
<p>In addition, a demographic bulge in the ranks of high school graduates in recent years has led to a sharp increase in applications to all colleges, including such private schools as Northeastern, Boston University, and Boston College.

<p>ED applications at my son's HS were up overall - acceptances were down.</p>
<p>A lot of EAs at my daughter's high school. Pretty much a massacre: 0-3 Stanford, 0-3 MIT, they did get one kid into Yale (of many who applied there). Ivy ED acceptances at Penn/Wharton & Brown. It used to be an almost guaranteed acceptance to state flagship with IB diploma, will be interesting to see how that plays out this year.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see the numbers when the regular decision applications are counted. I suspect some colleges and universities will report within the next several weeks...</p>
<p>agreed pbr.....I will start a new thread on the topic, as RD stats should be rolling out soon.</p>
<p>Emory ED anyone?</p>
<p>update on MIT EA apps....+28%, rather than the +25% previously reported</p>

<p>what about Washington University in St. Louis?</p>
<p>Rice U:
early decision applicants have risen 5.4 percent, up for the second year in a row. Rice accepted about 200 ED students, of a total class of 850.</p>
<p>For the class of 2013, Rice received 720 applications for Early Decision, compared to 661 applications in 2007 and 517 applications in 2006. Of the 720 applications, Rice accepted about 200 students.</p>
<p>Only 700 people apply ED to Rice? That's stunning.</p>
<p>Rice isn't very large.</p>
<p>And it's in Houston, which some students won't even consider [ like my son]. It seems to be mentioned most often re:the strong premed and music programs.</p>
<p>Here are some numbers about EA and ED for class 2013. (The numbers may not be accurate, please make any modification and add your data here. The order is sorted according to the acceptance rate)</p>
