<p>Admissions’ Statistics</p>
<p>Since this subject interests most posters, I’d like to create a “quasi official” list of the historical admissions’ numbers for the Ivy League schools. </p>
<p>If you have numbers for 2005 and prior years, please post the information for YOUR school here. Make sure to quote the source of your information. At a later date, I will reduce the information into one comprehensive post. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>At your service, Ivy Boy ... from today's Daily Pennsylvanian:</p>
<p>The most recent story predicted a 14% admit rate (made possible, in part, by increasing the fraction of the class filled via ED from 45% last year to 48% this year.)</p>
<p>This all I've seen for Penn so far. The Admissions Director refused to report on the RD apps until next week after he "briefs the President".</p>
<p>There seem to have been around 18,800 total apps. 48% of the class was filled earlier fron the ED pool, when 1,170 were admitted for a Class of roughly 2,400.</p>
<p>Reading between the lines, it seems as if there was some trouble with the website.</p>
<hr>
<p>Correcting some mistatements by an earlier poster, Cornell is larger than Penn, and several Ivies received more apps than Penn's 18,800 this year, including Cornell over 24,000, Harvard nearly 23,000, and Yale about 19,500.
Brown had about 17,000, and Princeton 16,500.</p>
<p>Please people, the admission statistics really don't matter! Having worked at the admission office before, they really don't want so called "puffed-up" resumes, so just be yourself and do everything that you enjoy best (winning national awards for that is even better) and everything else will come smoothly. </p>
<p>Oh, and for anyone who are considering UPenn, it ROCKS!!</p>
<p>Any questions, drop me a line.</p>
<p>Total apps: 20,300 (est)
ED apps: 4,148 (1,180 admitted, to fill roughly 49% of the class)
RD apps: 16,152 (est)</p>
<p>Penn is amazing.</p>
<p>what was the average SAT score this year?</p>
<p>i figured since u used to work with admissions that my question should be directed at you: </p>
<p>I know ivies dont give athletic scholarships, but does athletic success in HS factor in at all during admissions?</p>
<p>Just because the Ivies don't give athletic scholarships doesn't mean they don't recruit. </p>
<p>The Ivies have among the largest athletic programs in the country, both in terms of Division I varsity teams and the number of varsity players. </p>
<p>They recruit like crazy.</p>
<p>thanks. what about if you're on the bubble? I take all honors and a few AP courses and my grades are good, but maybe not quite good enough for Penn. Does anyone know if athletics can push you over the fence?</p>
<p>Of course it can, if they want you and are recruiting you as an athlete.</p>
<p>how important is class rank and gpa for upenn? i mean out of the two, which is of more importance? how about sat scores etc. ? the admissions site for upenn is very vague!!</p>
<p>this question is similar to jtb_325 but not quite the same. </p>
<p>I am practically in the same situation, in terms of academics and sports. But does the fact that you might not be the "best" in athletics and maybe "average," but you have been on the team for all four years of high school help you during admissions?</p>
<p>It won't help you any more than any other EC ... ie, if you've had a leadership role, etc. </p>
<p>For athletics to give you a tip, you will have to be recruited as a potential Div 1 varsity performer.</p>
<p>Nothing like a little yield manipulation. 47% of the class ED???? Please….</p>
<p>More like 49% of the class.
Princeton and Yale approach this fraction as well, with some others not far behind.</p>
<p>Does Penn report admit rates for each school?</p>
<p>are you referring to the ED or RD rates?</p>
<p>Both, for like A & S, Engineering, Wharton..</p>
