<p>Does anyone know the % of applicants admitted both regular and early? I can't find it on the web site. Thanks</p>
<p>For Early Action</p>
<p>17.7% Admitted
48% Deferred (Hey that's me!)
33.3% Rejected</p>
<p>I don't have the specifics for Regular Decision</p>
<p>The admissions office has stated that it's going for a 6.8% RD admissions rate....ew.</p>
<p>i can't find a source, but i remember that in the past, the EA deferreds have had an admit rate of about 14% (when April rolls around) while the RD admit rate has been about 7%. So overall, combining EA and RD applicants, their admit rate is about 10% (last year was under, i believe)</p>
<p>There are of course, far more regular applicants that EA deferees. I expect the acceptance rate will be even lower this time around.</p>
<p>gosh.. i wish i had applied EA.. my SAT scores just weren't good enough =/ sigh.. the admittance rate is SO much higher for an EA applicant T__T</p>
<p>a higher EA admittance rate doesn't necessarily mean it's easier to get in. Or maybe this is just coming from a bitter deferree. Haha, but it's entirely plausible that the EA applicant pool is stronger.</p>
<p>The EA applicant pool is a "self-selected" group; supposedly only the most ambitious, motivated, and talented students decide and are able to apply early to a prestigious institution like Yale. This is something that has been told at every college informational meeting at my school. The Ivy+ reps wanted to assert that their EA applicant pool is extremely strong, and thus the higher admittance rate is not indicative of higher degree of easiness in being accepted.</p>
<p>I know all colleges say that as the official line, but I don't really believe it. Colleges have to take into account how many acceptees end up matriculating -- EA/ED applicants clearly mark that insititution as their first choice (or at least one of the top choices).</p>
<p>I know for sure though that Columbia, at least, openly states that it IS easier to be admitted as an ED applicant than an RD applicant. I'm sure they have their own reasons for that.. couldn't even hazard a guess.. but that's what a Columbia rep told my school when she visited last April.</p>
<p>Columbia? UPenn, maybe, but I'm not too sure about Columbia...</p>
<p>Anyways, so are the EA Deferrees and RD applicants looked at in separate sections of the entire application pool?</p>
<p>Yeah. EA deferrees are looked at last, I've heard. Don't remember how I know that though, lol.</p>
<p>That would mean EA deferrees are only selected after they've selected everyone they want to from the RD pool, which means that the number of acceptances handed out to EA deferrees would depend on how strong the RD applicant pool was.</p>
<p>Is this correct?</p>
<p>So obviously Yale is much harder to get into than Penn. But what about Yale (ED) v Wharton ED? Thanks</p>
<p>Yale is EA. Do Yale EA and Wharton RD.</p>
<p>Wharton is a business school. If you're considering applying there ED then you clearly have an interest in business. No offense to Yale, but I don't see why you would want to apply to Yale over other great business schools like Stern and... other great business schools haha.</p>
<p>
<p>Is this correct?
</p>
<p>logically this seems correct but i'm not sure it's the case. the percent admitted from the RD and deferred-EA pool seems so consistent year-to-year that i find it very improbable that the % admitted for EA deferrees is completely dependent upon the strength of the RD pool. what i mean is the RD pool has consistently had a ~7% admittance rate and the EA deferees have consistently had a ~14% admittance rate over the years, and if the % admitted for EA depended only upon the strength of the RD pool, that number would have fluctuated more. does that make sense to anybody?</p>
<p>by the way, i got my numbers from various threads on this site.. as i recall there is a monster thread somewhere regarding % admitted for a bunch of universities over the past several years.</p>
<p>really, who knows what the heck they do!</p>
<p>and also, i'm only a high school senior and this is ALL SPECULATION so i could very very easily be wrong. (disclaimer :))</p>
