“I’m excited about this class,” said Dean of Undergraduate Admissions John Latting of this year’s Early Decision admits. “You can measure them all you want in terms of their grades and test scores but, more importantly, I think they are just a great group of students in terms of what they will bring to our campus community. It’s a great beginning to the Class of 2015.” </p>

<p>[Duke</a> accepts record number of early applicants | The Chronicle](<a href=“http://dukechronicle.com/article/duke-accepts-record-number-early-applicants]Duke”>http://dukechronicle.com/article/duke-accepts-record-number-early-applicants)</p>

<p>Anxiously sitting at their computers, 645 high school seniors learned of their admittance to the Class of 2015 Tuesday evening.</p>

<p>After receiving a record number of early decision applicants this Fall, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions was the most selective it has ever been and accepted the most students it has ever admitted in the early process. The admit rate was 29 percent—one percentage point lower than last year’s early decision rate.</p>

<p>“We went into the process thinking that with a larger pool it was likely that we were going to admit more students, but we didn’t really know,” said Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag in an interview Tuesday. “Having more applicants allowed us to admit more students and at the same time become slightly more selective.”</p>

<p>In addition to the students accepted, Guttentag said 695 were deferred and 887 were either denied or never completed their application. Guttentag’s office received 2,287 applicants for early decision in early November but about 60 students who initially applied for early admission chose to have their applications reviewed in the regular process, Guttentag said.</p>

<p>Of 5,257 early applicants, 761 were notified of their acceptances this evening</p>

<p>“Our early applicant pool this year showed another significant rise in numbers and strength with respect to top minority students and top science and engineering candidates, groups we have been especially happy to see responding to our focused recruiting,” Brenzel said in an e-mail. “These students were joined by thousands of the most high achieving students in the world of every other background and interest as well.”</p>
