<p>i heard from some schools that application numbers are (immensely) down.
you guys think thats because of the financial crisis or the fact that fewer people graduate in 2009?</p>
<p>^probably economic crisis. By no means are the number of applicants down in 2009. Unless they're down because of the economic crisis...</p>
<p>The number of ED applicants at many top schools actually increased (some by almost 50%).</p>
