Some highlights from the posted article below:

The Common Application noted a 9% increase in the number of applications submitted per applicant.

Common App noted double-digit increases in applications from India, Canada, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, though applications from China declined 18%.

At Haverford, about 60% of applicants did not submit scores. At Swarthmore, it was 47%. And more than half of applicants at Villanova also chose not to send scores.

Villanova, which received more than 24,300 applications, hosted outdoor admissions tours on campus, with masks and temperature checks, and found that 90% of those who attended applied, Washington said.

You are welcome.

Also not all the applications are for the entering freshmen. Some are for already joined student. So you have to go through all of it before applying.

I wonder if the colleges will also make next year application test-optional. If people can’t all likely get vaccinated by end of the summer, that doesn’t leave the kids with many chances to take multiple exams by the early winter deadline.
