<p>For your information.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Yeha that article didn't make sense because [url=<a href="http://admissions.nyu.edu/explore.nyu/fast.facts.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://admissions.nyu.edu/explore.nyu/fast.facts.html]here[/url</a>] it states that the number of ED applicants for 2012 was 2,995. So a 2.3 increase would be around 3064 applicants for Class of 2013, not 2936...</p>
<p>haha nice one chris</p>
<p>The article is fine. It was my mistake in referring to the Class of '12 instead of the Class of '13. </p>
<p>Sorry about that.</p>
<p>no, chris is right. </p>
<p>The number of early decision applicants remained steady this year [class of 2012] at 2,993, compared to 2,990 early applicants last year. Early decision applicants will make up approximately 28% of this fall’s freshman class.</p>

<p>Yeah the article's faulty, or at least they're not giving us the right number.</p>
