<p>My friend applied ED. Does anyone know how many people applied ED this year?</p>
<p>They don’t formally release that information until they complete their Common Data Set. That won’t be until January 2012 for the current applicants. My D applied ED last year, and is now a freshman at Furman, and we won’t have the formal numbers until January. </p>
<p>They did provide a press release last February regarding the number of ED applicants but it was not a formal number. You can check and see if someone in Admissions will give you that number but they are not supposed to release them. Good luck to your D</p>
<p>NYTimes blog, The Choice, reports that Furman noted a 58.77% jump in ED applications from last year. (hope this attachment works!)

<p>Does anyone know roughly how many telephone interviews Furman is doing next week for the Hollingsworth scholarship for ED applicants? What kind of questions do they ask?</p>
