<p>Sean I agree with you. Applications are up, but no one knows is that the same students applying to more sunys, particularly after it was on the news that Binghamton’s ED applications were up 50%. Did the Binghamton applicants then just add Buffalo, SB and more safeties? The waitlist clearing for private schools took forever last summer, and I predict that it will happen this year too. Middle class kids will gladly give up their deposit if they can upgrade their school</p>
