<p>woulda been helpful if you mentioned that the applications went up 12 percent</p>

<p>Sorry. Glad you figured it out.</p>

<p>Oh really? I thought you meant Dartmouth's altitude rose by a bit. </p>

<p>Now I feel sad that it hasn't moved... :(</p>

<p>what does that mean for admissions? would they maintain the 30% acceptance rate? or would it be more competitive this year?</p>

<p>=( </p>

<p>i thought i was supposed to be the only ed applicant! ;-)</p>

<p>"what does that mean for admissions? would they maintain the 30% acceptance rate? or would it be more competitive this year?"</p>

<p>They could stay at 30% without a big problem. They don't get that many ED apps compared to the other Ivies.</p>

<p>Its hard to say because they shoot fro a class of about 1075-1080 students. they also realize that the bulk of the applicants apply during RD. There are also a lot of variables to consider as many "hooked" applicants (recruited athletes, legacies, developmental admits, what the school considers academic superstars) make up a good portion of the ed admits. A lot also depends on the institutional need and what type of class the school is trying to build.</p>

<p>Class of 08 1277 applied 384 admitted
Class of 07 1216 applied 397 admitted
Class of 06 1114 applied 384 admitted</p>

<p>that's funny that they admitted 384 students in two different years. is this just a coincidence or is 384 some quota?</p>

<p>Coincidence, or they just missed it entirely for class of '07.</p>

<p>It's just coincidence, although I'm sure they have a ballpark range they want to land in.</p>
