College Admissions Statistics Class of 2022

Applying to College
521

@websensation That would be an increase from Class of 2021, which was 81.6% according to the 2017-18 CDS.

I suspect that they might get a higher yield from SCEA, so their overall yield would go up if they accepted a greater percentage of the class SCEA compared to last year.

(At least Stanford published its Class of 2021, 2017-18 CDS. Harvard has not done so and has yet to give any indication of New SAT scores. Not that we’d be surprised at the actual ranges, but still, it’s annoying and mildly suspicious.)

522

GWU (RD+ED1+ED2) ~4,640 out of ~11,100 (41.8%) … 11,100 were accepted, not applied. They had around 27000 applications.

Dean of Admission Costas Solomou announced to waitlisted students May 1 that after receiving nearly 27,000 applications for the incoming freshman class, GW hit its capacity and does not “anticipate admitting anyone from the waitlist this year,” yield would be 2500/11,100.

523

@sdl0625 thanks for that info. Do you have any idea of the breakdown for RD, ED 1 and ED 2?

524

@collegemomjam none of those stats have been published in the gwhatchet yet.

525

“Almost 900” were admitted ED at GWU but no more details than this. https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/gw-chooses-class-2022

Wake Forest also announced a few days back that it did not expect to draw from Wait List…Unless summer cancellations exceed our expectations" http://fromtheforest.admissions.wfu.edu/2018/05/wait-list-update/

527

U Richmond 30% overall; 11% RD (as told to me by a rep)

528

Claremont McKenna (actual numbers instead of an earlier percentage): https://cmcforum.com/news/05132018-he-applied-to-29-schools-only-cmc-accepted-him

Total: 558 out of 6,271 (8.9%)
Early Decision admit rate given as 25.03% (works out to be about 193 out of 771)
Regular Decision admit rate given as 6.64% (works out to be about 365 out of 5,500)

529

Now that all the other stats have rolled in, I’m curious to see the yields. I know that some schools have much higher yields than projected while others have gone to their waitlists sooner. Some schools are starting to use “waitlist” as a RD tool, too. Meaning, they fill many spots from the WL ED/EA applicant pool which means RD is even harder (if schools look to early applicants before getting thru the stack of RDs). Interested to see how all this develops over the next few years as schools all “up” their enrollment strategies and techniques.

@Prof99:

“I’m surprised it’s not 94%-95%”

It shouldn’t be surprising to see Stanford lose some crossadmits to H & M (maybe a few to P and Y as well) as well as a few to much cheaper schools (because of some combination of merit awards or in-state tuition at schools that are almost as good).

531

Wake Forest usually announces stats immediately after RD decisions go out. It apparently opted not to do so this year.

532

Harvard is 82%:

533

Does anyone know the ED/RD breakdown for Northwestern?

534

Thanks

535

can i get just a summary for fee in master of statistics

536

Stanford yield for the class of 2022 is between 84% and 85% up from 81.9% last year. https://mailchi.mp/fountainhopper/foho-61-kairos-staff-fired-lapin-resigns-sorority-rush-drama-more-news-you-can-use?e=e4cf8817c1

^ Insane!

Also, not corroborated (yet).

538

Barnard College of Columbia University Class of 2022:
Apps: 7,897 total, ED: 993 Total Acceptance Rate 13.7%

https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2018/03/23/barnard-admissions-rate-drops-to-137-percent-for-class-of-2022/

539

that’s an astounding statistic for Barnard. . I remember a time when acceptance was almost 40%.

540

^A more dramatic example is UChicago, going from more than 70% in 1990s to 7.2% today. Even as recent as ten years ago Chicago had an acceptance rate close to 40%.
