The word on the street is that the University's undergraduate admissions office has already received more applications than last year's record number of 30,383, and applications are still being processed. This indicates that the acceptance rate will almost certainly decline again in 2008. Of course, whether or not the University will be able to sustain such high records of applicants after the echo boom college-applying population peaks next year remains to be seen. I doubt it. Still no word on early decision numbers. But once the figures are released, you can rest assured that MetaEzra will cover them.
