<p>Title says it all...</p>
<p>Unknown by the general public at this time.</p>
<p>IIRC, last year Cornell released the # of ED applications at the same time as they announced # of ED acceptances. So I would not expect to know until mid-December.</p>
<p>Hmmm. Oh well. Thanks @skieurope.</p>
<p>Last year around 4800 applicants applied, so this year’s stats are probably similar, give or take a couple hundred. As the decision date gets closer they’ll send out an email that says “X thousand students are eager to access their decision, so please be patient” so you can extrapolate roughly how many applied from that.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Was curious, so I looked up the figures.</p>
<p>ED applicants for class of 2018–4782, 2017–4203, 2016–3600, 2015–3479. RD apps increased from 32,908 to 38,255 during same time period. ED acceptance rate declined from 35 to 28% during same period. Approx 40% of class admitted via ED.</p>
<p>Those are some interesting stats there, CT1417. I’d guess around 5k would apply, admit rate would drop below 26.5%. Scary stats.
Thanks @Coriander23 and @CT1417.</p>
<p>I think it will be within +/- 200 of last year. Wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers went slightly down because it is no longer as advantageous as it was before. Student may opt to take their chances at uPenn or such instead because they now have similar acceptance rates but rank higher. Also uPenn which received record applicants this year (5,000 or so), on their ED page they have 42k views versus Cornell with 32k views, but take that with a grain of salt. I guess we will see in a month.</p>
<p>Anyone know when they plan on releasing the stats?</p>
<p>Cornell19, Where did you get your post #6 numbers? You may want to look again on CC.</p>

<p>@2Daswell that was at the time I posted. I don’t want to call and annoy the admissions office but I’m very curious </p>
