<p>How many poeple do you think will apply this year? Do you think it is going to be very competitive (it’s already competitive as it is).</p>
<p>JConvey: dont you work in the admissions office? How many poeple are they projecting this year?</p>
<p>I worked in the wharton undergrad as IT support, and could pester people who are adcoms. But yeah, you're not getting those numbers. Also, you butchered my name.</p>
<p>My bad for the name butchering. But anyways, I was just wondering the projection. It's been a long time since I have seen you on this board.</p>
<p>wow JCoveney, was that tone really necessary?</p>
<p>I got banned for a while. And Def: sure it was. you're new, aren't you?</p>
<p>PS you don't know me <em>snap snap</em></p>
<p>true dat .</p>
<p>Nothing to project. Logically, it will be harder. The common app is now used so we can expect more competition (although I can't deduce the extent of it). The admissions process also increases in difficulty each year (I read in a report, although I can't recall the name, where it talks about how the number of college applicants will increase every year until the people born in 1992-1993 applies for college).</p>
<p>Stetson has said about 8700 poeple have chosen to send their app to Penn via common app so far.</p>
<p>Hold on. Is that early decision applications? If so thast already DOUBLE the amount they got last year.</p>
<p>Do you also have a good source?</p>
<p>I went to a Penn info session. He said it when he was talking about admissions. I think this is for people who have indicated, on the common app, that they will apply to penn (ed and rd).</p>
<p>penn's admit rate will drop significantly due to the common app...</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if the amount of ED applications to Penn will increase too much. I doubt the fact that Penn is using the CommonApp will cause some to more freely apply ED. You'd have to be deadset on Penn to apply Early.</p>
<p>RD, however, I'm sure you're right -- Kids who don't really care could just kind of apply to Penn for the heck of it, since they will have already filled out the CommonApp for their other schools.</p>
