Interesting- any other schools announce early app numbers?

Search school newspapers

Is that where you found the NU number? (Newspaper?)

OP, can you link to the NU numbers you are referring to?

Note that NU's percent of score submitters for class of 2023 has 50% submitting SAT, 29% submitting ACT.

OP said that the number was via an AO

It's possible that NU's ED app volume increased, but I doubt TO has anything to do with it. Instead, I would suspect prestige hunters noticing its slightly better US News rank.

NU is just very popular this year. Almost 10% of our private put an ED app in there (if the kid rumor mill can be believed)

Northwestern was also an absolute bloodbath last year in RD. This is the first year that I know of that our college office told seniors that if they want NU, they have to ED.

Will be interesting to see if the other schools that just went back to test-required also saw a decrease in ED apps

[Anonymous]

Any other early Ivy stats out yet?

This is good to know. DC RD to NU and was accepted engineering.

Didn’t the Dartmouth announcement say they expected it? But they have so many excess apps that they said they didn’t mind.

Exactly. More than enough ultra qualified students. It will still be lottery-ish.
