<p>Will fewer students be applying ED this year to the very expensive private schools since the economy is in such a slump right now and continues to deteriorate?</p>
<p>This seems like a reasonable assumption.</p>
<p>I think the number of people who are really affected by the depression to the degree that they have to compare Financial Aid is negligible (as compared to last year or something)</p>
<p>Really? I thought the number of students applying ED will higher since the class of 2009 is the largest in U.S. history.</p>
<p>yeah but with the economy in such poor shape it'll be hard for middle class families to commit $50,000/yr up front</p>
