<p>I'd like to know the admission stats from India for this year's batch. I heard that a total of 7 students received admission at Princeton this year - I'd like to know the same for others, like Brown, Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth, and Williams.
It'd help me approximate the difficulty of getting into these colleges as an international.
Thanks :)</p>
<p>Also, don’t forget NYU =P</p>
<p>ronngosh, I don’t think you will get good sampling here on CC.</p>

<p>This will not give info specific to Indian applicants/admits.</p>
<p>Well, I can help you out there</p>
<p>Princeton accepted 9 out of 313 applicants. They waitlisted 13, I’m not sure if they picked any from the waiting list.</p>
<p>Brown - 18 are attending out of 262 applicants.</p>
<p>For the other Ivies, I don’t have exact stats but an accurate idea,</p>
<p>Dartmouth ~7-8/200 applicants
Yale ~15/400 applicants
Harvard ~7-8/? applicants
UPenn ~30/? applicants
Cornell - no idea, I’m assuming 30 like Penn
Columbia ~15/? applicants</p>
<p>Hope this gives you a general idea.
Pton’s and Brown’s data is completely accurate (one was emailed to me, one was emailed to my brother). Others are quite accurate because we know people who were admitted there and told us about their fellow indians. Overall about 130 indians go to Ivies + Stanford, MIT every year. Out of these upto 60 go to either Penn or Cornell. About 70 to the other 8 schools.</p>
<p>Wow, so I have no chance to get accepted to any of these schools.</p>
<p>Nahh… don’t think like that. I would say that ~130 is a huge number. Just 5 years ago it was less than half that number.</p>
<p>Its interesting to me how big Penn is in India - always sort of wonder why.</p>
<p>^ Most probably because of Wharton.</p>
<p>I read an article about how India donated $200M to Penn for research or something!</p>
<p>Definitely because of Wharton. UPenn isn’t nearly as well known as Wharton.</p>
<p>Wow guitarclassical, thanks for the stats. It seems like UPenn and Brown select quite a few from the Indian lot. So, YAY to those schools!!</p>
<p>And Yale surprised me; I thought their number to be closer to 5/500 or something :S</p>
<p>If someone could get me the numbers for NYU (expect more than UPenn?) and Williams, I’d be very grateful.</p>
<p>Is there any Indian who got selected for Harvard '14…??</p>
<p>Brown had an event for 2009-10 which they called ‘The Year of India’, consequently, this is by far their largest class from India, previous two were 13 and 9. </p>
<p>Penn has a larger class from India because well… Penn has a much larger class in general. They also accept 11% of international applications compared to about 5% at other schools.</p>
<p>Wow, I never thought the acceptance rates would be so close to e/o.</p>
<p>Also, Columbia is 14 for the c/o 2014.</p>
<p>^^Yes,a girl I know got selected for Harvard '14.However,she chose to go to Yale instead.</p>
<p>Wooooooooooooow, putting Harvard down for Yale!!! Hats off to that girl…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is not uncommon. Three from our school got into harvard this year. All three went elsewhere - two to Yale and one to Stanford.</p>
<p>Tippu, are you at Chicago? (Just saw your post of UChicago visit)…</p>
<p>
Instead of using ‘not uncommon’, you should have used ‘common’. Initially I was confused, but having a closed look made me laugh and made me think about the ‘double negative’ flaw of writing section (SAT). lol :)</p>
<p>btw Harvard has been my dream since a long time. Seeing anyone putting down Harvard irks me out. How can anyone put Harvard down, but yeah since they have made it up there, their decision to put Harvard down should be a wise one only…</p>
<p>It still awes me. Putting down Harvard!!! Whoahohah</p>
<p>^That’s their decision. Harvard is not top-ranked for every major. I’d personally choose S over H.</p>
<p>No, I am not at UChicago. I know someone who is.</p>
<p>Are you saying that you incapable of understanding the difference between “not uncommon” and common? I feel sorry for you.</p>
