Pull quote: "Preliminary data from the Common App—which counts about one-third of America’s four-year undergraduate institutions as members—show a sharp increase in applications submitted before Nov. 1, a jump of 41 percent over the 2019–20 application cycle."[/quote]
Thank you. Adding:

"Robert Massa, vice president emeritus for enrollment at Dickinson College, said he was struck by the size of the application surge. But he cautioned that it may reflect the growing popularity of early action and early decision—and[b] increased pressure on students to apply to a longer list of colleges[/b]—rather than portend a comparable spike in enrollments next year."[/quote]

Also, the increase is driven by applications from non-white students and applications to schools with a 50%+ acceptance rate. Common App has been working to get more MSIs and large public universities onboard, which seems to be working. [b]Applications to more selective schools have leveled off[/b]. [/quote]
I may have missed this - did the article specifically say this?[/quote]

Yes, quoted source.[/quote]
