<p>Does anyone know? THanks :D</p>
<p>17 and a half</p>
<p>how do we know that.</p>
<p>divide the number accepted (as reported in the rejection letter) by the number of apps (as reported in the rej letter)</p>
<p>but thats only class size, doesnt make up for matriculation</p>
<p>id like to see a rejection letter</p>
<p>They also wrote the numbers in the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>i heard it's 12-14% for RD</p>
<p>yeah, 2400/20500 = 11.7%</p>
<p>Wait, you guys do realize that Penn accepts more than 2400 people right?</p>
<p>If Penn accepts the same amount of people as last year, the admissions rate is 19.1%</p>
<p>Last year, total 20.8% acceptance rate, 34.1% ED, 17.8% RD. Expect 62% of admitted to enroll. Dividing class size by applications is highly misleading because acceptance rate forecasts vary.</p>
<p>I'm sticking with 19.1% overall admissions rate</p>

<p>They will not be. They will be accepting fewer, because</p>
<p>1) Their yield has increased. As Penn has improved, more people who get into Penn RD actually want to go to Penn. Last year's yield was 65% (by comparison Pton is 67%) which caught Penn off-guard as they were not expecting so many people to matriculate into the class of 2009...which leads us to...</p>
<p>2) Due to the larger size of the class of 2009, the university will likely accept a smaller class of 2010 to alleviate the strain on housing the enormous class of 2009 has caused.</p>
<p>For these two reasons, Penn will deliberately be accepting fewer students.</p>
<p>So many numbers... what are the real numbers?</p>
<p>Well my admission letter says:
"...After carefully reviewing nearly 20,500 applications for our class of 2,400 students..."</p>
<p>i believe 2400 is their aim not the number of people they admitted...</p>
<p>thank you starbucks.</p>
<p>it doesnt say anywhere in that letter how many people they accepted. it says they want a class of 2400. thats all.</p>
<p>yes, johnny k is right. penn has a much higher enrollment rate now, and they have a huge 2009 class. also, i think they are going to rely on their waitlist somewhat to reach the target of 2400 students. so rd rate is indeed around 12-14%</p>
<p>Assuming a 67 percent yield for a 2400 class size, that means they will accept 3600 students out of 20,500 for a 17.5% acceptance rate. I think we overenrolled by like 100 students, so assuming a 70% predicted yield and a class of 2300 students, then the acceptance rate will be about 16.1% (3300 out of 20,500).</p>
<p>Yeah, BingCold is right, according to IvySucess</p>
