<p>this article reports a tremendous decline in overall early applications in the past few years, and that more and more people wait for the RD round because they don’t want to commit. do you guys think this will make it more competitive for RD this year? i think most of the ivies saw declines in early apps this year except for a few (i believe brown actually saw an increase)</p>
