<p>My son applied to a top LAC ED several years ago during a high point in the # of kids applying to college. My daughter plans on doing the same next year (she graduates hs 2012). Is the population trending downward yet and will it make a difference in the competition applying ED and RD to top LACs?</p>
<p>The number applying keeps going up at most, a lot of the increase being internationals and the schools reaching beyond their typical NE/mid Atlantic traditional pool.</p>
