[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Georgetown, which doesn't have ED or ED2 and is not test optional and is not on the common app, is not on this list.[/quote]

Two things: Covid boosted everyone's application amount. Sure, going test optional boosted it further.  But what I think also happened is that those schools who have a STEM/engineering/comp sci focus really saw the biggest increase.  Schools like CMU and NEU saw a much bigger jump in applications than Georgetown and Emory.

I'm not saying that Georgetown and Emory don't have good STEM programs, but their focus is elsewhere. To illustrate:
