@gnawnil09 “I heard that out of 8,500 early applicants, about 2,200 were denied, about 3,700 were deferred, and about 2,600 were accepted.”
Your data is correct. To assist in correcting some misinformation…
-We aim to fill no more than 30% of our incoming class through Early Action.
-Early Action is MORE competitive than Regular Decision. What an acceptance rate does not show is the amount of students at the top of our applicant pool applying at a much higher rate than Regular Decision. Regular Decision will be slightly less competitive.
-We do not track demonstrated interest, nor do we require any documents beyond a mid-year report for deferred students.
