<p>Did the same and got the same response. As you say, QUITE aggravating.</p>
<p>@kcmdonahue,
I don’t think they’re expecting a HUGE increase in EA apps. They haven’t moved to the Common App (which would be a reason). In fact, they might be getting FEWER apps for two reasons: (1) the economic situation and (2) the senior class of 2010 (across the entire country) has fewer graduates than the senior class of 2009. </p>
<p>Disregarding that, they still get many thousands of applications EA (I’m not sure of the exact number, check the GU website for last year’s numbers). It’s hard to sort all that out in a short amount of time.</p>
