<p>That’s an exception however, they started accepting the Common App which accounted for the increase.</p>
<p>And they did a very intensive marketing campaign to increase applications that year.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard yet about how many applications they got, besides the 26,000 suggested earlier?</p>
<p>yeah. AdmissionsDaniel just wrote an update the other day - [Hopkins</a> Insider](<a href=“http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/]Hopkins”>http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/). about 19,200 apps.</p>
<p>4% increase, eh. That’s not enough to induce freaking out.</p>
<p>^absolutely. i died (well, almost) when i read the aforementioned figure. But now i am comforted. AdmissionDaniels blog entry seems really interesting though, i mean the upcoming one; the good, the bad, the ugly of college confidential
(He’s saving me the trouble of writing one myself 
)</p>
<p>I’m now predicting what he’s going to write about CC. He better mention the “chance me” threads.</p>
<p>and the amazing amount of wrong information. case in point- 25000 apps this year? where the hell did that come from?</p>
<p>SO…Who think they got in?!</p>
<p>^ i don’t think anyone can confidently say that</p>
<p>I know I can’t confidently say that…I’ve been getting one blow to my confidence after another today and now I’m not sure of anything.</p>
<p>you’re seem much on the same path as me, its like everything i touch turns to ash. hope this stupid rutt is broken soon with a nice fat letter by 3rd of april (directed one each, to the both of us 
)</p>
<p>You know what everyone should do? Everyone should share stats and stuff!</p>
<p>^All of my stats are on my stats profile.</p>
<p>Anybody get contacted for missing materials?</p>
<p>what are you guys planning to major in?</p>
<p>Haha, I have to disagree… sharing stats is exactly what we should NOT do…</p>
<p>Our apps are already submitted so we should (try to) relax!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed… idk what else to say though. Thank the lord I’m going to Africa on a two week safari/vacation/adventure in three days - finally something to take my mind off college!</p>
<p>^^ Neuroscience</p>
<p>So how’s everyone holding up? Have you gone insane with anticipation yet?</p>
<p>I got a likely letter yesterday evening! The wait is over for me.</p>
<p>So did other CCers… :/</p>
