<p>I was checking out some statistics for Northwestern University at my high school. It looks as if NU has seen a huge increase in the number of ED applications in 2012. Basically, the absolute number of ED applicants tripled vs the average over the last three years. The number of ED applicants now looks on par with the Ivies (based on past trends for the Ivies at my school). Not only is the absolute number of ED applications much higher for NU, but so is the ED percentage vs total applications submitted...again on par or higher vs the Ivies. This is big news for NU in an area where the Ivies are so well represented. </p>
<p>I wonder if any other students have seen this type of increased ED interest in Northwestern at their schools ?</p>
