<p>34% increase of applications from California</p>
<p>3200 applications from minority students (highest ever) </p>
<p>A</a> bumper year for applications to top colleges | Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/31/2010</p>
<p>thank god I am an international student…</p>

<p>Well, maybe now they’ll be able to put the ol’ “Vanilla-nova” tag behind them a bit :).</p>
<p>2008 had 13,800 app’s.
2009 had 15,000 applications.
A 10% increase in 2010 would mean almost 16,500 , quite a growth.And you wonder why your Novasis account isn’t up to date.</p>
<p>But, Vanilla-nova is not going away anytime soon!
Using Common Data Set definitions, I would assume the 3200 “minority” applicants is comprised of other than “White, non-Hispanics” , that would mean:
Asian or Pacific Islander ,Hispanic ,Nonresident aliens ,Black, non-Hispanic ,American Indian or Alaska Native.
That would still leave around 13,000 white applicants. </p>
<p>Villanova’s 34 percent increase in California applicants cited is meaningless unless you know how many they had last year.If there were 100 last year is 34 additional significant?</p>
<p>Application numbers are skyrocketing everywhere as High School Seniors are sending out record number of applications per student , but they still can each only enroll in 1 school.
A few years ago , each student sent 4-8 applications , now each student is sending 8-12 and some are sending 20-30 applications.</p>
<p>I would have to trust the author’s work , but I would love to see the source of the Villanova data.</p>
<p>well that sucks for us deferrees.</p>
<p>i second that–sucks for us deferrees</p>
<p>go BC!</p>
