Williams College has extended offers of admission to 1,253 applicants for the Class of 2021. They were selected from a total applicant pool of 8,593.
The USC stats are wrong. That’s from 2016.
Here is the link for 2017: https://news.usc.edu/119065/trojan-family-welcomes-8980-exceptional-students-for-fall-2017-admission/
@doschicos Williams and Middlebury are in the list, split between RD and ED.
Think it might be good to put the combined rate, the overall admit rate as that is most widely quoted and the list seems to be sorted by admit rate.
Based on last year, I think at this point @spayurpets is collecting statistics and will eventually sort them out into groups such as LAC’s vs National Universities and ED/EA vs RD. I do find the RD rate (with ED admits removed) to be a very telling (and usually depressing) statistic.
Has UChicago released their RD statistics yet?
No, some people have related some secondhand accounts of a sub-10% EA/ED acceptance rate for UChicago, but I have not been able to confirm in any kind of published source.
UChicago was 9% EA/ED ; RD was less than 5%. Waiting for the link…
That you @spayurpets and @Carino.
Wellesley says admission rate is 21%. Does not give number admitted. Doesn’t separate out ED1 or ED2 (new this year).
"Wellesley received more than 5,700 applications this year, a 17 percent jump from last year and a 39 percent increase over the past 10 years. For the second year in a row, Wellesley experienced sizeable growth in applications from all major domestic regions—the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the South, and the West—with the strongest growth from the South at more than 25 percent over last year.
Students have until May 1 to make final decisions regarding matriculation, but today’s numbers provide a first glance at the 21 percent of applicants granted admission as the College’s new first-years."

Note, that I omitted the Emory Oxford College results from the Emory stats. I don’t know whether it’s of interest to have that break-out. I’m not really familiar with what Oxford College is.
@spayurpets You wrote “WUSTL was the one that arguably used yield tactics because they thought they were unlikely to get her if they accepted her” - what do you mean by this? I ansi because my daughter got into selective schools but was waitlisted by WUSTL, even though the schools that have accepted her are more selective. Thanks!
Did anyone receive the emails from the Ivies confirming the Ivy Day notifications’ time and date?
Yes I got one from Brown.
From Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth and UPenn. Nothing yet from Harvard, Yale, Brown. Didn’t apply to Cornell. Interesting that at least one person has received an email from Brown when we haven’t. Anyone else?
@denydenzig: Using the waitlist would be a way for a school to shape a class if there is uncertainty about yield.
Need a tuba player? Go down the waitlist for tuba players if the kid you offered rejects you.
Not enough acceptances to keep your 75th percentile SAT where you want it? Go down the waitlist and ask kids.
@tintininamerica re WUSTL and waitlist. Well, I think many people believe that some schools lower down in the rankings don’t make their decisions solely on student qualifications but also on whether they think the student will attend. In other words, they reject or waitlist ‘overqualified’ students because they know that it is likely that these students have the stats to get into at least one of an MIT, Yale, Stanford or Columbia, and a WUSTL almost never yields that student on a cross-admit. Now, I believe that all schools do this to some extent–after all no college wants to be anyone’s safety school–, but WUSTL often comes up as a bad actor when this kind of yield management is discussed. (You can see why they have the incentive to do this: they end up with the same quality student body, but they’ve lowered their acceptance rate and thereby improved their perceived selectivity.) In my personal experience, with my D being waitlisted by WUSTL while simultaneously being admitted over the phone conditioned on her accepting, I found their actions pretty damning.
