<p>Since acceptances are coming out today, hasn't the college formulated its acceptance rate yet? How come there's no information about that anywhere?</p>
<p>it will definitely be much lower than last years.</p>
<p>oh great.</p>
<p>life is so unfair. </p>
<p>so um. anyone with exact figures?</p>
<p>According to the cornell daily sun, 30,191 applications came in this year.</p>
<p>Cornell aims for a class size of 3,000, and admitted 1,103 students ED already. This means that there are roughly 2,000 spots left to fill. Now, Cornell's yield has seemed to hover somewhere around 50%. Since they overenrolled last year by 238 (not intentionally), there's not much reason to believe they will take more. I would guess they'll take double the needed spots in the RD round-that is 4,000. If you add the ED + RD, you get a total of about 5,100 admitted out of 30,191.</p>
<p>That comes out to 16.8%.</p>
<p>I dunno if they'll drop it that low, since they report the increase in applicants to be only 7-8% from last year...perhaps i'm leaving something out of the equation?</p>
<p>hopefully not. i think it's still hovering at about 25%.</p>
<p>I think the yield will drop but not significantly. I think their yield is less than 50%--a lot of the qualified candidates who get into multiple Ivies would probably choose HYP over Cornell, so I think their yield is less than 50%.</p>
<p>I would swear yield last year was mid 30's, but I may b wrong. If it wasn't lat year I am predicting a huge yield drop this year.</p>
<p>last year was def not in the mid 30s.. it was around 25% overall.</p>
<p>I think the yield was around 45% last year.</p>
<p>According to the website, yield last year was 47%. I think this includes Ed.</p>
<p>aaaaah so thats what i left out!</p>
<p>I predict 21% but hope for lower. Anymore bets? lol. Below 20 would be sweet!</p>
