<p>Over 6200 applications this year</p>
<p>Admit rate about 20% <=> to schools like Williams or Amherst!!!</p>
<p>Just curious, how did you find the admit rate @ 20% for this years applicants? College board reports 24%... but I'm sure it's changed now with so many more applicants.</p>
<p>I did some rough math with a 40%-ish yield rate and I got around 20% too. Funny, I got waitlisted at Williams, and accepted here! how about that?</p>
<p>I got in here, waitlisted at Williams and Amherst</p>
<p>Also, in a Burlington Free Press article (that was linked to somewhere...) a reporter sat in on a session of the admissions committee. In the article it said they were expecting a 20% admit rate.</p>
<p>My essay was an analysis of several carpe diem poems, emphasizing the literary techniques that each poet used to convince a woman to sleep with him. I haven't looked at it for months so I don't really remember anything other than that, unfortunately.</p>
