<p>WUSTL will not release until the spring. They mentioned that it was lower than last year’s 25 and that 1/3 of the freshman class was admitted</p>

Is it just me, or are those early acceptance rates scary high? That means RD acceptance rates are going to go down a lot this year, no?

25

@Qwerty568 It’s always been like that, RD is always a bit lower. Example being Harvard having a 3.5% acceptance rate RD vs 21.1% EA and 5.9% overall (statistics from last year).

26

@FigLeaves‌ Yes, I am aware that the early applications had a higher acceptance rate! I thought the class of 2018 rates that the previous poster was listing referred to their early acceptance rates; now I see that they’re probably referring to the overall acceptance rate for last year.

27

I think you should get into those four schools, all four of them have pretty high acceptance rates.

28

Stats of CMU SCS, Purdue,UIUC please?

29

And Georgiatech, UMich too , if possible.

30

All rates are going up this year because colleges are getting less and less competitive. Many well qualified kids are scared to apply to HYPSM and the high school graduating class is gradually getting smaller. The acceptance rates at these schools will only get higher.

31

@qpqpqp, the heck are you talking about? The rates are about the same as last year’s:

I got accepted into MIT early,using it as a safe/crazy choice, my dream university is actually Boston University to study Mechanical Engineering. Should I go to MIT as I heard it is a semi decent university of should I just wait till BU accept me/reject me? Very confused both seem top universities but I think MIT is slightly better in Engineering

33

^ is this a joke

34

MIT is 100000x better than BU, especially for engineering.

35

You’re kidding, right, @omarz1997?

36

I also wonder if the applicant pool is skewed by the super qualified kids who know for sure that it is their top choice and the family is able to pay full tuition. My son didn’t apply early decision to his top school because without aid, we can’t afford it and had to know for sure.

37

I took this from @nostalgicwisdom’s post on the Pomona page:

The Student Life posted combined ED acceptance rates for 4 of the 5C’s. For Pomona, these numbers exclude Questbridge and Posse.

Pomona-
717 applications, 138 admitted = 19.2% acceptance rate (last year = 19.4%)

Mudd-
434 applications, 74 admitted = 17.0% acceptance rate (last year = 17%)

Pitzer-
405 applications, 118 admitted = 29% acceptance rate (last year = 30%)

Scripps-
No application numbers given, 45% acceptance rate (last year = 40%)

38

The admission rate might be higher but it’s not like they are accepting less qualified applicants. Most people applting early are actually more qualified and have been preparing for college for longer. It’s a mistake to think that you are 3x likely to be accepted if you apply early

Some unofficial notes from CMC to complete the information posted above.
