Education-SI is pleased to report that Education-SI received signficantly more applications from boarding school candidates before March 1 in the current year than we did in previous years.

We received 65% more applications before March 1 than in Year 2 of our operations and 250% more than in Year 1.

Of course, our hope is that we will continue to receive applications through May as we did in previous years.

In the first two years of promoting boarding schools in Russia, Education-SI received less than half of our applications before March 1 indicating that Eurasians don't (didn't?) submit applications very early in the year.

In Year 1, we received 62% of our applications AFTER March 1. In Year 2, we received 60% of our applications AFTER March 1.

If this trend continues, we could receive as many as 60 applications (up from 21 two years ago) during the 2007-2008 recruitment year.

See table below for more information.
