By Managing Board | November 10, 2011The New York Times reported yesterday that Princeton had received 3,547 applications through its new single-choice early action admissions option. This applicant pool is roughly three times the size of its current freshman class, indicating that many prospective students remain drawn to the opportunity to receive accelerated admissions decisions from schools in which they are particularly interested. This is especially true now that Princeton and a few other elite private institutions have implemented single-choice early action, which does not commit prospective students to attend the school to which they apply.
