<p>Why would it be bad policy for Tufts not to release these numbers now? If the ED apps are up, that could certainly add to the usual through-the-roof level of anxiety some ED applicants suffer. If they are down, it might feed expectations of ED applicants, without really helping them at all. I expect the numbers, for both ED and RD, will be released in '09, but what is to be gained by releasing the ED numbers now?</p>
