<p>Hi all. I compiled the admission data for all of the Ivies + Stanford/MIT. Based on last year's admit numbers and this year's application pool, Yale will have the lowest RD admit rate out of all the schools (5.0%). In contrast, Harvard will have a 6.3% admit rate and Princeton will be at 8.4%. Cornell's RD admit rate is the highest among Ivies, at 16.1%. For the non-Ivies, Stanford will have a 5.5% RD admit rate and MIT will be at 5.9%. </p>
<p>If you would like to see the data for the remaining schools (total admits, defer rate, etc.), see the spreadsheet I made here:</p>
<p>Hopefully this can keep everyone distracted while we all anxiously wait for results.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I made this out of boredom. This is just a projection, and is by no means an exact representation of what will happen come April. There are also many lurking variables affecting the numbers (e.g. ED/EA/neither).</p>
<p>like for cornell, i added up the number of RD applicants with the number of ED applicants and it came out to be 37337; you put down 36337 and used that number as the denominator.</p>
<p>@Wuchu: This is because approximately 1000 applicants were deferred early, and they are still in the RD applicant pool. Don’t worry - I carefully calculated all of my numbers.</p>
<p>Yeah, in a way it does. Look at MIT, they deferred 60% of the kids and rejected 30%. I guess I would rather be rejected straight up instead of being strung along.</p>
<p>Hahaha. Might I suggest you include data for Caltech and UChicago? These two are sought after universities on these boards along with the ones you already have.</p>
<p>@MrPrince: I initially included Caltech, but there is they do not release data on its early admission :(. I will add UChicago.</p>
<p>@smile99: Ivies are March 31. Stanford varies year to year.</p>
<p>It might be depressing now… but then if we get rejected come April, it won’t be as heartbreaking. And if we get accepted, it’ll be even sweeter.</p>
<p>“We expect decisions will be sent via email from Dean Richard Shaw on April 1 after 3pm (Pacific Time). Decisions will not be released over the phone.” </p>
<p>from one of the e-mails I received from Stanford regarding my application.</p>
<p>So are deferred–to–accepted students counted as RD applicants when the colleges compile their data on acceptances? And subtracted from the ED numbers?</p>
<p>Can you add the Total Rates from last year on there as another column? It would be a good way to show which colleges are rising fast in number of applications and having their acceptance rate lowered.</p>
