<p>Does anyone know what the number of applications are for ED1 and how many acceptances or what the acceptance e percentage is for the class of 2017.</p>
<p>Hi Britsmum,</p>
<p>I’d imagine data on the newly accepted Class of 2017 won’t be available for at least a few months. However, I was able to find some interesting info from last year (the Class of 2016).</p>
<p>Total Number of ED Applications Received: 950
Total Number of ED Applicants Admitted: 602</p>
<p>This translates into an ED admittance rate of 63%, which is much higher than the general average of all admitted students - this counts both ED1 and ED2.</p>
<p>Given 11,529 ED and RD applications, 3,756 students were admitted, for a total student admittance rate of 33% overall. Suffice it to say, applying ED greatly increases odds of admission at Lehigh.</p>

<p>It looks like lehigh has the highest Ed rate.</p>
<p>Yeah, Lehigh is known as one of the best universities for applying Early Decision, especially since you can really increase your chances of being accepted.</p>
