Last year for Early Decision, Columbia received 3,296 applications. Exactly 650 were accepted, for an admissions rate of around 20%.
I haven’t found stats for ED deferred or denied.</p>
<p>Did they release the number of ED applications they received yet? And if not, does it mean they got a disappointing amount or something?</p>
<p>@livingdoll I go to a prep school in Dedham, but I live in Needham. Do you go to a private or public school?</p>
<p>@tccbay
Not yet. Both Harvard and Columbia release stats when admissions time rolls around.</p>
<p>is the ED acceptance rate lower than RD?</p>
<p>@misslanette No, it’s significantly higher. </p>
<p>@misslanette I wrote this before, but 20% of all ED applicants are admitted from a much smaller pool.
Hopefully, this will work in your favor!</p>
