<p>I’m scratching my head on two things…</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Although the latest report from Midd admissions says that “ED(1) group expands 12%”. the actual app numbers, taken off that banner page today and in the past, look like they are shrinking…from ED1 '11 to ED1 '13.</p></li>
<li><p>I’m a little surprised that the ED1 acceptance rate has increased. Again, given the press that apps grew, one would expect the opposite. Looks like a reversal of a trend to me.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>But, that Nov 2008 article, interviewing the admissions dean, is at fundamental variance with the history of data reported by Midd on the admissions banner page, albeit that page was never intended for public display.</p>
<p>Climbing-- I re-read the 11/08 article, and I think you are right
…so the article was published a couple of days before the ED1 deadline, so there must be some slop in the how they counted. Folks this year got their apps in early. </p>
<p>I wonder if Clagett will revise the erroneous +12% figure to a negative number? My money is NO.</p>
