<p>There is evidence for increasing popularity of Early Decision applications for Bates College. According to Wylie Mitchell, Bates College Dean of Admissions, there has been a 22 percent increase in applications for Early Decision compared to last year’s pool. The number of students who applied for Early Decision for the class of 2012 has reached a record-breaking 527 after both Early Decision round one, due on November 15, and round two, due on January 1.</p>
<p>“It is very significant and very exciting for Bates to have attracted such a significant increase in Early Decision applications,” Dean Mitchell expressed in reflection towards the applications.</p>
<p>Upon addressing the notion that Early Decision applicants seem to be very strong academically, Dean Mitchell remarked, “early applicants are probably a little more qualified.”</p>
<p>Along with the increase in Early Decision applications has come an increase in multicultural applications. “More applications are coming from those who identify as [AHANA, African, Hispanic, Asian, Native American] then ever before,” said Dean Mitchell in reference to the augmented multicultural statistics.</p>
