CB's 22nd Annual National Admissions Trends Survey Results
On ED, the Number of Apps
and...Yields
FOR THE PAST 22 ADMISSONS
SEASONS, COLLEGE BOUND has been surveying U.S. colleges
and universities from coast to coast, large and small, rural
and urban, private and public to get an early look at how the
latest admissions numbers turned out. This data is not only indicative
of national tendencies, it can be helpful to counselors, parents
and students seeking admission to college this year. CB
attempts to make these numbers available to its readers well
before they appear in other guide books.
Here, then, is what admissions officers at 96 colleges and
universities who'd participated in our 22nd National College
Admissions Trends Survey by press time told us about the year
that just was. (The complete survey results will appear in CB's
annual book, Who Got In? later this year.)
EARLY ADMISSIONS
STILL HOT
Just over half of the 96 colleges and universities
that participated in COLLEGE BOUND's 22nd National Survey of
College Admissions Trends use some form of early admissions.
Of these, 66 percent reported receiving more Early Decision or
Early Action applications for 2007 than 2006.
Those reporting more early applications (with the rounded
off percent of their new first-year class admitted early in parenthesis)
included: American U. in Washington DC (15%), Babson C. in Massachusetts
(45), Binghamton U. SUNY (35), Carlow U. in Pennsylvania (12),
Carnegie Mellon U. in Pennsylvania (20), Colgate U. in New York
(49), Dickinson C. in Pennsylvania (44), Duquesne U. in Pennsylvania,
Hampden-Sydney C. in Virginia (83), Hood C. in Maryland (30),
James Madison U. in Virginia (35), Kalamazoo C. in Michigan (83),
Lafayette C. in Pennsylvania (42), Lawrence U. in Wisconsin (34),
Lehigh U. in Pennsylvania (38), Moravian C. in Pennsylvania (38),
Nazareth C. in New York (42), Ohio Wesleyan U. (34), Oregon State
U. (70), Providence C. in Rhode Island (33), St. Lawrence U.
in New York (25), St. Olaf C. in Minnesota (88), Sacred Heart
U. in Connecticut, Saint Michael's C. in Vermont (60), Santa
Clara U. in California (63), Sweet Briar C. in Virginia (35),
U. North Carolina-Chapel Hill (72), U. of Rochester in New York
(23), Valparaiso U. in Indiana (60), Virginia Tech U. (24), Wabash
C. in Indiana (8) and Whitman C. in Washington (25).
Approximately 17 percent of the schools with early admissions
programs which received fewer early applications for 2007 than
in 2006 included: Bucknell U. in Pennsylvania (39%), Carleton
C. in Minnesota (35), Dartmouth C. in New Hampshire (33), DePauw
U. in Indiana (56), Flagler C. in Florida (30), U. of North Florida
(less than 1), U. of Notre Dame in Indiana and Vassar C. in New
York (36).
Also, Claremont McKenna C. in California (19), Elon U. in
North Carolina (63), Johns Hopkins U. in Maryland (35), Linfield
C. in Oregon (27) and Oberlin C. in Ohio (34) received about
the same number of early applications for 2007 as for 2006.
Harvey Mudd C. in California reported that 22 percent of its
new class was accepted early, while Longwood U. in Virginia fielded
24 percent and Reed C. in Oregon admitted 34 percent of its new
first-year class early.
Meanwhile, Prairie View does not have ED or EA, but Mary E.
Gooch, admissions director, said "more students are applying
earlier."
Yet Michael Johnson, director of institutional research at
Dickinson C. felt there was a "decreased interest in Early
Decision, primarily because of the press surrounding the decision
of several prestigious institutions to abandon ED. Interestingly,
we noticed a huge increase in Early Action programs."
And, at the same time, Ken Anselment, director of admissions,
Lawrence U., said there were "increasingly earlier applications,
but later student decisions."
MORE TOTAL
APPLICANTS
By far, most of the colleges and universities participating
in CB's 22nd National Survey of Admissions Trends reported
receiving more total applications in 2007 than in 2006. In fact,
87 percent of the 96 schools participating in the survey by press
time reported more applications.
Also, there was a range of colleges reporting more applications.
Clearwater Christian C. saw "more applications overall."
Robert W. Bennett, senior associate director of admission at
Clemson U., saw "another record-breaking year for the number
of applications received." Heather Graber Stinson, assistant
dean of admission at Colgate U., said she spotted an "increase
in applications" in 2007.
Stephen Lazowski, assistant director of admissions at Baldwin
Wallace C. in Ohio, said it this way: "Applications up."
And, "Freshmen applications to Indiana State grew by 20
percent this year to an all-time record level," said Linda
Ferguson, assistant director for reporting and data management.

And Barry U. in Florida received 5,054 applications, while
Florida Institute of Technology received 3,027 applications.
The U. of Florida received a whopping 24,126 applications.
Were the applications real? It appears so. But at Lehigh U.,
Bruce Gardiner, director of admissions, spotted "students
filing more applications." Carol Del Prospost, assistant
VP, admission and financial aid, Ohio Wesleyan U., agreed, and
said "candidates are sending more applications."
Karen Guastelle, dean of undergraduate admissions, Sacred
Heart University, said she spotted "stealth applications."
And Jim Amidon, director of public affairs and marketing,
Wabash C., said, "More students are applying to more schools
and are depositing to more schools in order to 'save a place'
in the class."

applications and yields, 59 percent of colleges in CB's 22nd

Other Trends Spotted
Admissions officers in a variety of institutions noted
other trends in 2007.
More students are moving "to electronic submission,"
said Michael Stedel, director, Carnegie Mellon U.
Adam Sapp, assistant dean, Claremont McKenna, said he spotted
"needy parents."
At the same time, Peggy Minnich, director of admission, C.
of Mount St. Joseph, said she spotted "students who seemed
very stressed about the admission/application process.
Meanwhile, Dartmouth's assistant director of admissions, Colleen
Wearn, saw an "increase in the diversity of the student
body, especially the number of international students."
"It is a competitive admission marketplace," said
Brett E. Kennedy, senior associate director of admission, DePauw
U.
At Purdue U., Jerry Ripke, assistant director of admissions,
said he saw "more applications for pre-pharmacy and other
health-related programs."
And Jacqueline Murphy, director of admission, Saint Michael's
C., was one of several colleges noting a "steep increase
in campus visits" and "lots of stress."
