<p>I wonder if there's any way to find out how many people per state apply (for ED).</p>
<p>yeah i was wondering the same thing too.
with the admissions rate & # of accepted people from each state, would it be possible to determine the number of people that applied from each state?</p>
<p>(keep in mind that they admit people from outreach zones with a higher rate, i believe)</p>
<p>If you're from North Dakota or sommat, and you're "good enough," then yeah, it's good for you.</p>
<p>Then again, is living in North Dakota really worth it? :)</p>
<p>uggg this is like the only time i wished i had grown up in alaska...
ahha no joke</p>
<p>Im with you, yoanka. I'm from NYC :-</p>
<p>Well, I guess there'd be a rough approximation of how many people per state applied for Penn ED.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/images/map-2011.gif%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/images/map-2011.gif</a>
That is the map of 2011's # of accepted students per state; the ED acceptance rate was 29.4%. Obviously that's not the same throughout all 50 states though.</p>
<p>Here is my rough formula:</p>
<p>(# of accepted people from your state, find it on the map) * (100 people applied / 24 people accepted) = # people applied from your state</p>
<p>Or more simply,</p>
<p>(# of people accepted from your state) * (100/29.4)</p>
<p>Don't forget to adjust the percent. If you live in Pennsylvania (or NJ, NY, CA, etc) adjust the percent slightly lower. If you live in, say, North Dakota, adjust the percent higher. </p>
<p>Yay! :) Best of luck to all... 1 week till you guys get your desicions!</p>
<p>the problem is by how much to adjust it.</p>
<p>
That map actually shows the number of enrolled students per state, not the number of accepted students, and doesn't necessarily correlate with the number of applicants from each state. For example, Penn received more applications from California than from any other state for the Class of 2011, yet in terms of enrolled students in that class, California comes in at #4.</p>
<p>then multiply by percent of students yielded</p>
<p>this is really futile because you are making too many assumptions</p>
<p>^ That's correct. Acceptance and yield rates vary significantly among regions/states. For example, there is probably a higher acceptance rate for applicants from western states than there is for applicants from PA/NJ/NY. Similarly, there is probably a lower yield rate for applicants from the West than there is for applicants from the East. Bottom line is that we just don't know.</p>
