Does anyone know the overall acceptance rate for engineering this year? I heard there were a total of 11000 apps and only 1500 ish places in the freshman class. I guess the acceptance rate would depend on the yield as well - anyone?
Do not have figure for entry class of Fall 2015 yet, because they usually don’t put together final figures until right after the Fall semester begins since actual enrolled numbers (i.e., those who actually show up in Fall) are considered important and part of the figures. For last year, the number of freshman applicants to engineering was 11,324, of which 4878 were accepted (giving an admission rate of 43%), of which 1562 enrolled.
UIUC admits by major and the acceptance rate may be quite different by major as well.
