<p>8% is good. It’s hard to have a significant increase when you have 25,000+ apps already. 10,500 more in one year? unlikely. UChicago experienced that increase because it hasn’t reached it’s potential yet (they’re not even at 20,000 even with this increase), and their admissions has been working hard to make that happen ASAP.</p>
<p>Edit: I didn’t realize we’re at 27,500 already until I read that article. That’s REALLY good.</p>
