<p>i’m far from that…
i am applying for a a huge amt of aid</p>

<p>their acceptance rate is still pretty high, but Depauw doesn’t meet full need, they give
merit awards and then unless youre a top candidate gap you the rest.</p>

<p>Wait, can this be possible?</p>

<p>According to College Board, DePauw accepted 1,184 out of 1,187 applying Early Action:</p>

<p>on another site I saw early action rate of 85% so no matter what the rate actually is, it appears to be very high. Depauw overall accepts 65% of apps and then tries to recruit them with merit aid which they dribble out over the late winter and early spring. Their strategy is a little different than most of the other good LACs. They use the aid packages to sift out the apps. I believe their yield rate is low.</p>
