<p>[Early</a> Application Numbers Rise at D.C. Area Colleges | The Hoya](<a href=“http://www.thehoya.com/news/early-application-numbers-rise-dc-area-colleges/]Early”>http://www.thehoya.com/news/early-application-numbers-rise-dc-area-colleges/)</p>
<p>I came across this article today. It said that the early admission rate is 18%, same as last year… So they’re already on the mailing stage?</p>
<p>can’t wait!</p>
<p>Apparently it all goes out friday, or so ive heard.</p>
<p>Wow. Well if the number of EA apps total was up 10% (I’ve lost the article) and the admissions rate was the same, that means they accepted more kids… YAY.</p>
<p>No the apps to college increased by 10% but business school decreased by 10%</p>
<p>I thought there were so many college apps that the overall increase was 10%, even with the decrease in MSB.</p>
<p>does that mean the number of kids accepted to the MSB was higher or lower than past years considering the decrease in applicants?</p>
<p>The Admissions did tell me that their Early Action Admittance rate is always the same as the Admittance rate (total) of last year.</p>
<p>So if overall, 18% got admitted last year (including the EA), then the EA for this year will be 18% so in a way it’s quite rigid.</p>
<p>18% is pretty spot on. And yes decisions will be mailed this Friday.</p>
<p>i can’t wait this long!!! aghghghghhhh</p>
<p>This seems to be a trend. I know ND got many more early apps.
I wonder if people are trying to find out as soon as possible so they have more time to make a decision. With the financial crisis, I’m sure that many need to really look to see if they can afford to these schools that cost an arm and a leg. I know thats why I want to find out early! THough I be happy to get in anyway how.</p>
