Early Action in 2012???

<p>^With great humility I will quote Dean J directly:

</p>

<p>Let. Dean. J. Work! </p>

<p>Seriously. It’s amazing that she comes here so very often to answer questions, many of which can be found from other sources if people choose to look far enough. She just stated less than an hour ago she was trying to work, and you are going to ask her to stop and report on how many applications yet received?</p>

<p>Think about your question logically. Does this really matter? UVa will review all applications received prior to accepting, rejecting, or perhaps, waitliststing, each and every one, regardless of how many received (or when they are received). If you are trying to gain an early idea of the possible increase in applicants, other top universities that are releasing EA/ED statistics are showing increases of double digits over last year alone. This can be a deceiving number as the total number of applications will not be calculated until the end of this admissions cycle. Early applications could have increased by 18% at a specific university, however overall they may see an increase of 10%.</p>

<p>The only result that will truly affect you will be your own.</p>
