<p>Below are the numbers for the 2010 early action process, as provided by the ND admissions office. Following each number are the 2009 and 2008 figures:</p>

<p>Applications: 4,285 (3,884) (4,228)</p>

<p>Admits: 1,737 (1,724) (1,519)</p>

<p>Deferred: 759 ( 660) ( 725)</p>

<p>SAT: 1,462 (1,451) (1,452)</p>

<p>ACT: 33.1 ( 32.9) ( 32.9)</p>

<p>Good luck to those deferred to regular decision. If you look at the thread for 2009 admission stats, you will see that the total admission stats for 2009 were not materially different than those for early action.</p>

<p>I’m assuming RD stats are a lot lower?</p>

<p>Wow, ND is admitting more and more applicants EA. I know it is hypothetical, but if all 1,737 students accepted and enrolled that would be over 85% of a class of 2000 students. Of course that will never happen, but it will be interesting to see the final numbers in the spring. If the trend holds I wonder if applicants in the future will feel more pressure to apply EA.</p>

<p>^The reason for the 200 person jump in acceptances is due to the downturn in economy. ND knows their yield rate will not be as high, so they have to accept more students. The number would most likely decline once the economy gets better and people can start to afford ND.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the EA yield rate was for last year? I thought I had seen somewhere that previous years (before the economic downturn) that the overall yield was ~55-57%. Using 55%, 955 of the 2,000 member class would have been admitted EA. Whew, my kid applied RD, wasn’t athlete, URM, or legacy. Glad he’s already there!</p>

<p>I just hope there is a replacement for Golden Tate in the admitted group.</p>

7

<p>^yes, but that is why they have accepted more because the yield rate has lowered - probably about 2/5 of the student population will come EA - which makes sense because they are usually the most qualified of the application pool.</p>

8

<p>I’de be interested to see the yield data for the previous years as well. I think in 2004 or 2005 it was somewhere near 60%. I have a feeling it has dropped to around 50% in recent years but such a high EA yield is impressive for any school.</p>

<p>Bumping EA admission stats to the top for the past three years. Will post 2010 total admission stats (EA + RD) as soon as they are available.</p>

10

<p>Bump for EA analysis</p>

11

<p>Bump to the top.</p>

12

<p>Do any of you have any idea how many applicants, deferred to RA, go on to gain admission?</p>

13

<p>I think you would have to assume it is at least 30 to 50%, given that they survived the first cut in EA. Even if it is only 25 or 30% of the deferred students, those applying EA still got accepted at over twice the rate of those applying solely RD. At 50%, the ratio is more in the 3X range for EA over RD only acceptance.</p>

14

<p>Refreshing the EA stats from the prior three years for comparison with the recent Observer article on 2011 EA acceptances.</p>

15

<p>Wow, class of 2015 had over a thousand more applicants (5294) and over 200 more acceptances (1950).</p>

<p>Looks like I’ll be a ND transfer hopeful b/c I have no chance RD.</p>

<p>bumping EA stats</p>

17

<p>They overbooked this year and had to turn the study rooms into triples.</p>

18

<p>Are the test scores the average scores of those who were accepted, or those who applied?</p>

19

<p>Those accepted.</p>
