<p>With decision letters coming in the mail I figured it was time to start the yearly thread. Please include an article reference if possible.</p>
<p>I don’t have references :), but both Grinnell and Bryn Mawr wrote in their acceptance letters that this year was a record for applications. So happy I didn’t know that as she was going in :)</p>
<p>@cellucch: I’m not sure what data you’re mining. MOst colleges total app numbers are already common knowledge. And the # of kids they admit year to year is also known. Divide admits by apps, you get admit rate. As far as increase or decrease, again: you just compare with last year’s numbers. I’m not sure of the point of this examination…</p>
