I wonder how the 42% increase in total applications from last year to this year applies in terms of ED applications? Did ED applications increase as well and by how much?
The ED numbers for previous four classes according to Swarthmore’s Common Data Sets were as follows:
Fall 2014 entering class: 555 ED applications, 200 accepted
Fall 2013 entering class: 538 ED applications, 177 accepted
Fall 2012 entering class: 575 ED applications, 180 accepted
Fall 2011 entering class: 533 ED applications, 156 accepted
The number of ED applications and acceptances for the last four years seem very consistent. I’m very curious how these numbers played out this year?
