<p>^ yea I read that blog too. It seems like every year more and more people are applying to college. If the current trends hold, some colleges will have a <1% acceptance rate. lol</p>
<p>Other sources may have reported tentative totals for our 2011 ED applications, but the accurate number as confirmed by Dean of Undergraduate Admissions John Latting is 1,330 applications. This is a 15% increase from our 1,155 total from last year</p>
<p>Ahhh! At least their ED admit rate will still be higher than RD, but I’m feeling pretty discouraged by this :</p>
<p>If all schools are experiencing this I bet it’s also due to the fact that people apply to so many colleges now. People who graduated from my school 4 years ago applied to no more than 6, now everyone I know applies to 10 at least.</p>
<p>If I could I’d apply to only 6, but with today’s crazy competition, I’d need to apply to 10 to feel like I have a shot of getting into a good school that I really want.</p>
<p>next year ED# will surely be higher, even more depressing for next year’s hopeful.
but do keep in mind that each student is unique & hopefully the adcom will admit a good ‘bunch’</p>
