<p>Has anyone heard what the acceptance rate was this year?
thanks</p>
<p>19 percent</p>
<p>^^ Is that official?</p>
<p>I had heard 19% as well though I don’t know how official that is.</p>
<p>Here it predicts that it will be somewhere around 17-18% so i guess the 19% would be close enough. basically i’m guessing cornell/upenn level acceptance rate, which is pretty scary considering last year’s rate was something like 27%</p>

<p>I’m guessing AdmissionsDaniel will post an official acceptance rate in the near future.</p>
<p>Is 19% the overall acceptance rate or is that just RD? If it’s overall, RD was probably a lot lower.</p>
<p>ed was 43%, so RD must have been lower</p>
<p>is it true that because they over enrolled last year that they accepted alot less people this year?<br>
does that mean (since jhu yield is usually pretty low) that they will be more likely to accept people off the waitlist?</p>
<p>they accepted a lot less people because the applicant pool rose 13.6% and because yield was HIGHER than expected last year.</p>
<p>wonder what it was this year -</p>
<p>My opinion is that JHU has been underrated in the eyes of many (especially for non-science majors.) I’ve been waiting for JHU to become exponentially more selective as people start to embrace the diversity this school has to offer.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s just a fluke, but i think this might be the first sign of a trend.</p>
<p>So Admissions_Daniel just posted, the acceptance rate for this year is 20.4%</p>
<p>and probably somewhere around 17/18% for RD then I’m guessing if it was 20% overall.</p>
<p>ha, so my simple calculations were pretty accurate! i felt 17-18% would be too low given last year’s yield… 20-21% sounded about right. i hope to God this class doest over admit as well…given everyone’s increased selectivity, i feel that will trickle over into a higher yield for every school that didn’t try and set records by admitted fewer applicants than they should have</p>
