Record Application Numbers Announced
|
The 72-hour period from December 30th through Jan 1st is always the high-water mark for online submissions. In this, the tenth year of the Common App Online, but the first year of our new online system, we set another new volume record. We are pleased to report that we processes over 75,000 applications and over 65,000 supplements on December 31st alone -- an enormous increase over last year. That said, students submitted slightly under 4 applications on average, a number which is almost unchanged from last year. In other words, students are not applying to more colleges, but more students are using the Common App Online. Our submission statistics are as follows through January 1:
Applications- 1,110,392 - submitted since Jul 1
- 171,490 - submitted Dec 30-Jan 1
- 38% - overall increase comparing Dec 31, 2006 to Dec 31, 2007
Supplements- 781,952 submitted since Jul 1
- 145,147 submitted Dec 30-Jan 1
- 78% - overall increase comparing Dec 31, 2006 to Dec 31, 2007
Payments- 623,465 submitted since Jul 1
- 110,083 submitted Dec 30-Jan 1
- 52% - overall increase comparing Dec 31, 2006 to Dec 31, 2007
School Forms- 66,127 submitted since Jul 1
