Here are the stats for admissions and applications released from the admissions office:

Number of applications: 7,344. That's about 10 for each place in the next freshman class, and an increase of 26% over last year's. Certainly at least partly a result of the blue-ribbon application program.

110 applicants ranked first in their HS class; 87% were in the top 10% of their class.

Last year's acceptance rate was 40.3%; this year's is estimated at 38%, including students admitted off the waiting list.

20.3% of accepted students defined themselves as being "of color"; up 17% from last year

169 students were accepted ED.

This information came from The Justice, Brandeis' weekly paper. It did not mention how many applied ED.
