<p>2015</a> Ivy League Admissions Statistics
You like statistics?</p>
<p>clever 10 char</p>
<p>I think those numbers are telling and bogus at the same time.
- It’s interesting to see how ED schools like COlumbia and Penn take 40% of their class early.<br>
- Acceptance rates are bull because you don’t know the quality of the applicant pool (especially the difference between ED, EA and RD applicants. Harvard has such a low admit rate because its Harvard (aka. almost every smart Asian applies just to see if he/she can get in, inflating the applicant pool with students who don’t really want to attend.)</p>
<p>Nighthawk,
Dartmouth provides quite a bit of information about the quality of their applicant pool. For example, 16.2% of the applicants that took the SAT scored 800 on math. That’s enough to fill the incoming class 3 times over.

<p>I don’t think you are right about Harvard. Their yield is 77% and it is not inflated by ED since they don’t offer ED. The students that apply really, really want to go there.</p>
<p>HYPS’ numbers are inflated by people who toss in an application for the hell of it just because it’s HYPS, even though they know they don’t have a shot in hell of getting in. Almost all of those people would attend if they were admitted.</p>
