Hello,
I was transferring information from the Excel form to the fillable PDF form(because US News requires that), and I notices for C.21, the Excel sheet asks for the number of early decision applicants for fall 2025, but the PDF form asks for fall 2024. Is that just a typo?

Thank you,
Kathy

Hi Kathy and All, 

Thanks for bringing this up, I can also confirm what looks like a typo in CDS C13 where it says "If your institution has waived its application fee for the Fall 2027 admission cycle please select no." when it should read Fall 2026.

I think if you have advanced programs in Adobe Acrobat, the edits can easily be made there. But for folks who don't, how can these typos be fixed?

Thank you, 

Angeli
