Acceptance Rates in Letter

<p>Did any acceptance rates come with any letter?
If so, please post!</p>

<p>came with the waitlist - just says how many are accepted off of the waitlist each year for each school. variations from year to year go from 10% to 53%....I assume that means getting off the waitlist is pretty unpredictable.</p>

<p>there was also a mention in the letter of how they had around 18,000 applicants for 1500 spots (approx. numbers, i dont have the letter in front of me)
i think thats what you're asking for?</p>

<p>"Admissions Committees considered more that 18,600 candidates for an entering class of 1,580 first-year students... less than 3,400 of the man well-qualified candidates could be offered admission... approximately 18% of the applicant pool."</p>

<p>I was rejected... oh well.</p>

<p>did any ones letter say anything about transferring? mine was almost encouraging me to try again next year.</p>

<p>They gave acceptance rates for those of us waitlisted but they were numbers like .18, .01, .1, etc. Does this mean that for example .18 % of waitlisted students got in last year, or is the number 18%.</p>

<p>^ I was wondering the same thing. I was more inclined to believe .18% because 18% seems to be a pretty large number... of course I am hoping for the latter!</p>

<p>uhh, definitely the latter choice. a) it says acceptance rates, and then lists a decimal figure of those admitted. the notation kind of suggests that it's not a percentage b) at the bottom of the waitlist letter, it says that during 2004, seven students were admitted for nursing, giving a 0.21 acceptance rate. if we take that to mean 21%, about thirty kids were waitlisted, which isn't unreasonable. if that were 0.21%, three thousand kids would have been waitlisted - just for that school. very unlikely.</p>
