“I’ll probably be more cautious with early action admits because we don’t know what’s coming later,” Mr. Roberts says. “My fear would be to take too many kids early and then receive better applicants later.”</p>

Recently, he noticed that a high school that had sent five applicants to Virginia last year, sent 15 early applicants this fall. “This makes me wonder if we will see even greater numbers in the regular pool,” he says.
