I don’t think it will matter much. I don’t see an increase in applicants as anything all that spectacular. More people apply to the school, so what? I was actually glad that Northwestern didn’t accept the common app it showed that the school had some sort of spine. This new development, however, is just the latest of many sellouts by the university. Also, Northwestern’s yield (minus ED), is still in the 30% range. So, NU’s yield is pretty much the same as Chicago’s.
