“I was looking at Northeastern ED numbers and the 17-18 year they received less than 1000 ED apps (together 1 and 2) but someone posted that this year they received closer to 1500 apps. So it takes some time to increase the ED pool.”
But northeastern kept EA, so not the same.
Also, Providence and Fairfield still have EA. HC is a good comparison, although they are test optional so the lower scoring kids omit.
