<p>I was amazed to see that Chicago accepted 1380 students early, which fills nearly 98% of their anticipated freshman class. What’s the point of their regular decision program? If they lose that many acceptees to other schools in yield, doesn’t that suggest that they should go to a binding ED policy?</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>I really don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>Annually UChicago admits about 3500 so that it ends up with somewhere near 1400 who enroll meaning a yield rate (number enroll/number admitted) is about 40%.The yield rate is usually higher for that EA group but not more than 50%. UChicago does not have any desire to adopt ED, i.e., if the mindset of an applicant is that he should not choose UChicago because its yield rate is too low that is an applicant UChicago would highly prefer go elsewhere.</p>
<p>Suprised at the much higher admit rate than over all. Does this mean you are more likely to get it EA or ED or does it just mean better applicants are applying early. </p>
<p>I would like to see the need and merit aid brakedowns over this data. But that isnt going to happen anytime soon</p>
<p>^^ A little of both and you also may get more legacies and recruited athletes in the early round.</p>
<p>Several studies were done about whether EA is favorable toward the applicant and all of them suggested it was.</p>
<p>Harvard must only accept like 3% of its Rd to bring its numbers back down</p>
<p>I can’t believe how high Harvard’s is. RD is like 5%</p>
<p>I can’t believe how low Georgetown’s is. Isn’t that lower than their overall accept rate last year?</p>
<p>So… awk? Got into G’town EA and am now applying to Harvard and UChicago RD. IT’S ALL BACKWARDS.</p>
<p>Holy crap…as if the single-digit acceptance rates weren’t enough.</p>
<p>As some have pointed out, Harvard is the outlier of the bunch. RD = less than 4% EA=18%</p>
<p>Meanwhile, GT and MIT early applicants don’t get a leg up on RD.</p>
<p>Typo above - Hopkins admit rate is 36.5 per cent, not 26.5. The RD pool at Harvard does seem a bit competitive!</p>
