<p>And this how it looked for the Class of 2011. The biggest difference is the number of highly selective schools that have gone below 20 percent rate:</p>

Ivy         9.46%   Princeton University
Ivy         9.63%   Yale University

<p>Well…this certainly makes me feel better about getting rejected by most of my reach schools!</p>

<p>xiggi - thank you very much for the work you do. I have been referring to this thread quite a bit in the past week and appreciate your time and effort in compiling it.</p>

<p>Igor, please do not use offensive language in your posts. Thank you for the stats refresher, though.With respect to your opinion, I don’t think most people put Cornell in the same category as the other ivies. I think that shows in the percentage admitted.That was my point, simply. I didn’t say it was justified, though, but that IS the general perception.</p>

<p>Oh mannnnnn c/o 2012 lets do this haha</p>

146

<p>Does anyone have Wellesley’s admit rate?</p>

<p>"Does anyone have Wellesley’s admit rate? "</p>

<p>If you can find it, let us know. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, Wellesley is one of those schools that still believes in “for your eyes only” releases. Ultimately, something will pop up on their website, but I doubt it will be soon.</p>

<p>I am curious how the ED rates compared this year, especially for selective LACS like Bowdoin , middle bury, Vassar, Hamilton, Colby and Bates</p>

149

<p>Does any one think that the increased number of foreign applicants (10 top trends this year) will make it less likely for yield rates to be kind of unexpected?</p>

150

<p>Bates 180 353 50.99%<br>
Bowdoin 189 561 33.69%
Colby 151 273 55.31%
Hamilton 162 376 43.09%<br>
Middlebury 264 682 38.71% </p>

<p>This might not be complete if schools have EDII</p>

151

<p>

</p>

<p>Increased applications from abroad do not necessarily result in increased admissions. Yield rates are not affected by the number of applications. </p>

<p>The biggest impacts on yields will come from the still unknown effect of SUCCESSFUL multiple applications and less generous financial aid packages.</p>

<p>cool charts xiggi! what does LAC stand for?</p>

153

<p>The schools like CMC , Pomona, Amherst, etc are liberal arts colleges. The others are Universities.</p>

154

<p>thanks,xiggi that was very helpful, wonder how many of those ed admissions were reserved for athletes.At my D’s competitive HS, the early decisions for Bowdoin and Middlebury went to Lac players</p>

155

<p>Yay, high school class of 2012 that gets to deal with these terrible drops in percentages next year :-/</p>

156

<p>any stats for trinity college?</p>

<p>Here is an article on admissions this year at Wellesley:</p>

<p>[College</a> Sees Two Percent Increase in Applications](<a href=“PeperHelp Discount Code – Best Solution for Your Research Paper”>PeperHelp Discount Code – Best Solution for Your Research Paper)</p>

<p>Pertinent stats: </p>

<ul>
<li><p>2% increase in applications, for a total of 4,400 applicants</p></li>
<li><p>276 ED applicants, an increase of 18%. 124 students were accepted ED, for an ED acceptance rate of 44.9%</p></li>
</ul>

<p>1,439 students were accepted last year resulting in over enrollment. So a back of the envelope guesstimate for this year looks like an admit rate of less than 32%.</p>

158

<p>The numbers above indicate that Wellesley did admit a fairly smaller percentage in its ED round, as in the last two cycles ED admissions’ rate were almost at 60%. That would be a 15% reduction. </p>

<p>2015 124 276 44.93%
2014 138 235 58.72%
2013 120 204 58.82%
2012 107 208 51.44%</p>

<p>More than half the class of 2015 at Harvard failed to break 700 in any component of the SAT.
How does this translate to “stellar academic background?”</p>

<p>“More than half the class of 2015 at Harvard failed to break 700 in any component of the SAT. How does this translate to “stellar academic background?””</p>

<p>It only does when everything you see on internet happens to be true. In due time, the correct number for the 25% SAT percentiles will show the foolisness of blindly repeating “news” a la HuffPo.</p>
