And today they’ll be even more ahead of the curve because today, we are able to report what we know of the [University of Chicago]‘s Early Action and Early Decision numbers. While UChicago hasn’t publicly released application tallies to its Class of 2025 just yet, word on the street is that Early applications — between Early Action and Early Decision applications — are up by a margin of about 6% from this time last year. Now, the figure might end up being a little higher or lower but we can safely project that Early applications at the University of Chicago to its Class of 2025 are indeed up. Decisions should be out on December 21st.
