Many schools that compete with Harvard and Princeton just got more competitive. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, "early action" applications are up 36% at Yale, 42% at the University of Chicago, 16% at Boston College, 30% at Georgetown and 12% at Norte Dame. The good news for Stanford applicants is the fact that applications are down slightly from last year.
Last year both Harvard and Princeton announced that they would abandon their early admissions programs in an effort to increase access for disadvantaged students. Unlike early decision programs which are binding early action programs allow students to wait until National Deposit Day May 1, 2008 to make a final decision.
