17% overall admit rate

<p>It’s not that the 0.1% rise in acceptance rate makes Penn look bad. It’s how Penn has fared relative to its peers. Columbia, Brown, and Dartmouth all had double-digit % gains in applicants, which means they will have significant decreases in acceptance rate.</p>

<p>I hope so, muertapablo. Your streed (and by “street” I mean “CC”) cred has gone up by correctly knowing the final acceptance rate. But I guess we will have to wait a year to see what happens to Brown, and what happens to Penn. As always, I wish the very best for Penn, and harm on Brown and everyone else ;)</p>
