<p>When I first saw the 25,000 number, I wondered whether that included early decision applications because the sentence on the site was/is referring to the resources that WILL be needed in the future to process and evaluate the applications. Considering that 2,850 applications applied early decision, which is approximately the difference between the two numbers, maybe the website originally didn’t include those applications into the statistic?</p>
