The numbers have just come in for the most recent early decision cycle and a record 1,856 students have applied for early decision, breaking the previous record of 1,801.

I’ll post details as they come.

I’m expecting the ED acceptance rate to be around 24-25% this year. I was however a bit surprised to see an increased in applicants given this is the first year that Dartmouth required a supplemental essay and other highly selective colleges such as Swarthmore have reported application drops when instituting similar requirements.

I’d like to hear your thoughts? What do you guys think the numbers will look like this year? :)
