Harvard’s increase in applications was actually the second smallest, compared to schools across the Ivy League:

Dartmouth is reporting a 7.5-percent increase
Yale is reporting a 13.5 increase but in early applications, according to the school newspaper.
Harvard received 5.6 percent more applications,
Princeton 2.3 percent, according to a Jan. 22 article in Bloomberg News.

The real news is Brown, with a 21% increase in applications, putting it at over 25,000 which is where Harvard was a couple of years ago.
