<p>Numbers yet for Notre Dame and Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>IMO, this systemic applying to 15-20+ colleges is insanity and perpetuates the heartbreak for all. No wonder more and more schools are upping their early admissions.</p>
<p>striking out gondalineNJ on both.</p>
<p>On CMU, perhaps you’ve seen this already, but this breakdown by school is interesting (last year): [Carnegie</a> Mellon Admission | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/undergraduate-admission-statistics]Carnegie”>http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/undergraduate-admission-statistics)
Note that the total apps double counts those who apply to more than one CMU school, so there are actually fewer individuals who apply (about half I think, or ~2 schools per applicant.)</p>
<p>gondalineNJ, re: 15-20 schools…you’re right, of course. But the only alternative is to somehow ensure that no one applies to more than, say, 9 schools. 3 safety, 3 match, 3 reach. If that can’t be enforced, then what? It escalates, and boom – we end up with a year like this one, with schools getting crazy numbers of applications. </p>
<p>Matriculation numbers will be very interesting this year.</p>

<p>FYI, '16 stats broken down
</p>
<p>(banking this info here so a school by school comparison can be made when '17 results are posted, presumably to the same student profile url, overwriting the '16 data.)</p>
<p>what the heck, I’ll bank the Carnegie Mellon '16 schoool-by-school admit data also for future analysis (note that unlike Georgetown and others that only allow an applicant to apply to one school, CMU applicants can apply to more, resulting in a total app count on this kind of breakdown larger than a CDS total app count which only counts each individual once.)

<p>Note that this Occidental report says -0.5%, but I calculate -0.88% using their reported '16 & '17 apps numbers.</p>
<p>Here’s another (novel!) means to increase applications…lower tuition price.
[Tuition</a> To Be Lowered 55 Percent : The Elm](<a href=“http://elm.washcoll.edu/index.php/2013/04/tuition-to-be-lowered-55-percent/]Tuition”>http://elm.washcoll.edu/index.php/2013/04/tuition-to-be-lowered-55-percent/)</p>
<p>The 55% tuition reduction by Washington College (Md) is being credited for the cited 200% increase in applications…pretty remarkable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think papa chicken know what April fools day is LOL</p>
<p>Hah! Given the craziness this year, 200% didn’t seem too unbelievable for a tiny school.</p>
<p>very interesting thanks for the info!!</p>
<p>Washington University in St.Louis saw a 10 percent jump from last year’s application sample, with approximately 30,000 applicants this year.</p>
<p>If I accidentally declined my offer of admission to University of Maryland college park, can I change it?</p>
<p>^OF course you have to call them</p>
<p>I am on Monday. I was just worried that it couldn’t be changed even if I called.</p>
