Any word on how many applications HC received this go around? Deadline passed many weeks ago and not a word. Sure hope we haven't stagnated yet again with way too many students coming from one state.

Nary a word yet from a lot of schools. For example, the eight Ivies,
Dartmouth up 3.2 percent Penn up 4 percent Harvard up 1+ percent Yale up 5 percent Brown ? Princeton ? Cornell ? Columbia ?

I know several students looking to go either HC, PC or Villanova. Certainly a big day for them and hoping they get into (and choose) the Cross. About 30+ years ago I was weighing BC, HC and GT and so glad I went purple.

Welcome hcpride....but that basically says it all....pre-PL it was HC, BC or Gtown for a lot of kids....today it's HC, PC and Nova, and we're probably losing out out to those schools in many occasions....as our President would tweet: sad.

Found this tweet on Twitter tonight. Posting it only because it provides some limited information regarding the number of applications for the class of 2021.

Last year was 6,693 applications.
Looks like we are down year over year.
Something has to change.
Cheers.

Not to mention, that letter is a mess. Run on sentences with grammatical errors.
Something needs to change.
Cheers.

It could be said that few students will chose a college based on grammatical errors. However, carelessness in the little things - when uncorrected - may often be accompanied by carelessness in larger, more important, matters.

Just walked by a rack of the Georgetown student newspaper "Georgetown receives record number of applicants."
Thank you Fr Brooks

But here's a silver lining. Although many don't know we exist, those that do think we're pretty

No, based on the numbers reported by the school and stated in the acceptance letter, the number is down, unless we we 694 applicants. If it were up by 100, the letter would have said over 6,700 applicants. Who knows though, it could be a mistake in the letter. Cheers.

The number I gave was in response to a query about the prior year., I took that to mean for the class of 2019. The applications for 2020 were about a hundred more than for 2019.

I do not see the run ons. That comma use is optional.
