<p>It is comforting to know that competition won’t be any tougher than last year % wise, +4% apps barely changes the admit rate. And when you look at S’s history: last year they admitted less bc they overenrolled the 2 years prior. However, last year they underenrolled and had to admit ~200 kids off the waitlist (something they hate doing), so I expect EA admit rate to return to the ~15% that it was 2 years ago, not the ~12% of last year. Essentially, I think that there will be an extra 75 spots open for us that weren’t open last year.
