Admissions officers bewildered by this year's Early Decision applicants
You see, they're up. The applications. Almost everywhere anyone asked. They were supposed to go down, because:
Admissions experts predicted that the binding nature of early decision would discourage students and families in a year when many are uncertain about their personal finances and would want to consider public college alternatives or to weigh aid offers from a range of colleges before committing.
This is good - no one wants to be Beloit, cutting 40 jobs because they fell 36 student short this year.
