Deadline updates, 2023–2024: first-year application trends through November 1, supplement

This serves as a supplement to the original Common App Deadline Updates report for November 1, 2023. The supplement offers updated analyses, revised data points, and a year-over-year comparison with the previous application cycle. The aim is to provide a more current perspective on application trends and demographic shifts among first-year applicants.

Key differences:

• The original report compares data from the 2023–24 application season with that from the 2019–20 season, establishing a long-term trend. In contrast, the supplement focuses on year-over-year changes, comparing the 2023–24 season to the 2022–23 season, offering a more immediate perspective on recent shifts.
• While both reports present similar visualizations, the supplement updates these with percentage changes based on the 2022–23 season, allowing for a clearer understanding of short-term trends.
• Some data points in the supplement have been slightly revised from the original report due to updates in the underlying data warehouse, ensuring more accurate and current information.
