During the week of January 12-18, we processed 86,588 applications for the 1998-99 cycle. For the same period during the 1997-98 cycle, we processed 25,231 applications. We believe this initial increase in volume is due to the earlier distribution of Renewal applications and FAFSAs. Both the MDE and CPS are maintaining their contractual turnaround times.
