~Class of 2015 SEAS Theoretical ED Acceptance Rate~

<p>Okay, so I've done some number crunching, and here's the conclusion I made:</p>

<p>Total ED applications received: 4557</p>

<p>I saw on another ED thread that approximately 8/75 people applied to SEAS. Assume that this is an accurate ratio, then</p>

<p>Total ED SEAS applicants = 486
Total SEAS Size = 410
ED accepts approximately 50%, so
Total SEAS ED Accepted = 205</p>

<p>ED Acceptance rate = 205/486 = 42%
GOOD NEWS!!! Almost the same as last year's!!!</p>

<p>This is PURELY theoretical, correct me if I'm wrong please :)</p>

<p>Dude you’ll get in regardless of the theoretical admit rate. Just chill</p>

<p>Another approach, albeit also theoretical, but perhaps a bit more scientific:</p>

<p>For the Class of 2014, 14.3% of all applicants (3,851/26,939) applied ED:</p>

<p>[Penn</a> Admissions: Incoming Class Profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/]Penn”>http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/)</p>

<p>If we assume the same ratio for SEAS apps, then there were 685 ED apps for SEAS (14.3% of 4,791 total SEAS applicants):</p>

<p>[Penn</a> Engineering - Fast Facts](<a href=“Marketing and Communications |”>About)</p>

<p>Assuming that half of the SEAS class was accepted ED, the SEAS ED accpetance rate was 29.9% (205/685).</p>

<p>Given that the overall SEAS acceptance rate for the Class of 2014 (16.9%) was fairly close to the overall Penn acceptance rate (14.3%), I’d guess that 30% was closer than 42% to the SEAS ED acceptance rate for the Class of 2014. And of course, for the Class of 2015, there are 18% more ED applicants.</p>

<p>Again, this is all theoretical, but there it is. :)</p>
