<p>Hmmmm. Not sure. It could be that the +12% figure was premature–announced before the deadline, and they didn’t get as many as expected in the last 2 days. Although the New York Times article published on Nov. 20 (after the Nov 15 ED I deadline) notes that Dartmouth, Middlebury, and Bowdoin are up around 10%. </p>
<p>Or it could be a typo on the welcome page. Should it be 760 and not 660? The Campus usually does a good job of reporting admissions trends, so I’ll keep and eye out for the next admissions article.</p>
