<p>Perhaps this should be titled: the good luck getting in list.</p>

<p>Northwestern up by 19%. Ha.Ha.Ha.</p>

<p>Amherst up by 9+%.</p>

44

<p>How about Brown? Anybody has their % +/- numbers? My guess is that they don't have a big increase because they don't use CommonApp</p>

45

<p>Yale's ED apps. were down approx. 15%. Probably due to highly publicized acceptance rate of 8.5% last year which discouraged many from "wasting" their ED app. this year. Conversely Northwestern apps. reported to be up by 19%. Probably due to prior years ED acceptance rate of 48 to 50%. Amazing shot at getting in to a very prestigious school early and enjoying remainder of senior year. All schools want to know that they are your first choice. Maybe the top dozen can assume such,but the rest of the top 100 or so schools really want to know "why college or university X". This may be the last wave of the baby boom surge in applications. Apps. also up at many schools,e.g.Minnesota,because marketing firms were hired to target certain sought after students.</p>

46

<p>San Diego State had 57,167 applications this year.</p>

47

<p>So that beats UCLA.</p>

48

<p>Brown's final numbers aren't out yet, but it looks like an increase of around 3.8 percent. </p>

<p>Thats a lot of apps!!</p>

50

<p>Brown's numbers are dismal compared to other top schools. It is time for them switch to Common App!</p>

51

<p>Indiana's applications were up 20% this year over last....</p>

52

<p>Carnegie Mellon up 19.2% (not 30% as someone reported earlier) to 22,052 applications.</p>

53

<p>Well, I got the 30% figure from a good source -- direct from Jared Cohon's (CMU President) mouth. He spoke at a luncheon I attended and that's what he told us. I guess he needs to check his source information. ;)</p>

54

<p>UNC- from 19,000 to way over 20,000...maybe 23,000? 4-5% increase...maybe more</p>

<p>*They had to push back both their early action and regular decision deadlines because that many more people were applying that before, something UNC has never done.</p>

55

<p>holy cross in worcester up 5%</p>

56

<p>san diego state? why?
&lt;/p>

57

<p>can someone compile all these schools on to one big list?</p>

58

<p>Pyer, go right ahead and compile---that would be awesome :)
From a quick scroll-through, it looks like Yale and USC (Cal) are the only biggies that have experienced a decrease ??????</p>

59

<p>University of San Diego:</p>

<p>For the Class of 2009, USD had 7000 applications. For the Class of 2010, USD had over 10,000 applications, a 40% increase. The Freshman class is just over 1,100 students.</p>
