[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke’s sharp increase in early applicants might correlate to the sharp drop in Columbia’s early applicants - maybe for some reason people this year started liking Duke more?[/quote]

+1 It's also possible Duke stole some early applicants from MIT since they also had a drop[/quote]

No you can apply to both Duke ED and MIT EA. SCEA is different.[/quote]

True, I wonder where all this extra applicants came from then? Princeton never disclosed their scea numbers, maybe kids opted for Duke instead of Princeton this year? You can’t do both.[/quote]
App numbers are really not that stable. Last year, we would have asked, where did Duke lose all those applicants. They went up this year, but were down the year before.

The more interesting question is why Duke chose to admit fewer ED than usual (800 vs somewhere around 880 most years). Maybe the answer is as simple as an expectation that RD will also see an increase in apps, but still, I'm curious.[/quote]
