In the mail from Duke today - their summary stats for the year:
Total apps this year - 29,689. If you are keeping track, that's 2900 more than last year and almost 10,000 more than three years ago. They admitted 3094 students in the Regular Decision pool plus 645 in the ED pool, for an admit rate of 13%.
And from Louisiana State University - Their Faculty Senate voted to make a change to the academic core requirements necessary for admission to the university. Beginning next year, applicants to LSU need to have the following high school courses - 4 English, 4 Math, 4 Natural Science, 4 Social Science. Some juniors consider dripping Math and/or science as seniors so we wanted you to be aware! We are hearing from many colleges that 4 years of all core academic subjects (including foreign language) is important.
I'm surprised we haven't received more of these updates, but it's still a little early. Once the colleges have finalized their freshmen classes, we will typically get a pile of newsletters with final numbers. We will try to post those here.
