<p>So far it seems like either everyone has been accepted or deferred from the ivies. I'm not sure whether my friends are all brilliant or if the admissions offices decided to defer everyone rather than reject? Anyone know?</p>
<p>They did reject people. Most of the rejected people likely just refused to post their stats.</p>
<p>Yes, plenty of people.</p>
<p>I personally know one reject from Penn, three rejects from Yale, as well as one from MIT and two from Stanford (not Ivies, but close).</p>
<p>Yup. My school didn’t have many early applicants for ivies, but we had 2 deferrals and 1 reject.</p>
<p>Out of the 8 people that applied to UPenn Early Decision, only 1 got accepted and 1 got deferred. The rest received outright rejections. All of them had outstanding stats but the thing that killed them was being Asian.</p>
<p>How about Brown and Cornell? Those were the two I noticed that had the most deferrals. Any rejects?</p>
<p>Look at the decisions threads for the schools here</p>

<p>gatornation: your analytical skills are failing you right now. If you rely on self-reported results from such a skewed sample as CC posters, then you need to go back and brush up on some basics. </p>
<p>you really wanna know how many people were rejected? Go to the schools’ sites or their school newspapers. There, you’ll find actual numbers.</p>

<p>These are very limited in data. To see a more complete picture, pick 2014 to see last year… then choose from the prompt on the left only EA, and not RD. These are self reported and unverified, so view it in that light.</p>
<p>I know 2 Brown rejects, 1 Penn reject, and 2 Cornell rejects personally, and those are only the ones who were willing to say it. A lot of people in my school don’t even tell people when they apply to Ivies so they won’t need to admit rejection.</p>
<p>You have to remember that many people who get rejected probably aren’t too happy to go to the decisions thread on CC to post their lack of success. However if you got into a school with an 8% acceptance rate bragging about it comes easier. Not saying that everyone who gets iin is bragging nor everyone who gets rejected is too bitter.</p>
<p>The Ivies get thousands of applications each year. I’m sure that they reject like 80% of them annually so to answer your question, yes the ivies probably rejected someone. It just doesn’t seem like it because not very many people want to gloat about their rejection. By the way, on the ivy decision threads, some people posted that they got rejected. o.o</p>
<p>sharker? reject only 80%? I’m not sure any of the eight ivies have anything close to 20% accept rate. Havard and Yale are under 8% which translates to +92% rejections</p>
<p>i was rejected from Columbia</p>
<p>Harvard alone rejected about 28,000 applicants last year</p>
<p>I know that Ivies reject THOUSANDS of students…but I was referring more to early decision, especially for Cornell and Brown. I just haven’t heard of many rejections and when I spoke to admissions they said they deferred a TON of kids because they want to see the regular pool and how the EDs compare.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Yale with 2250 SAT</p>
<p>^ This in no way suggests that scores lower than 2250 will be rejected or higher than 2250 will be accepted. Without the rest of the application, the score alone is irrelevant.</p>
<p>^Don’t be ridiculous. A 2250 is obviously the cutoff for Yale this year</p>
<p>Getting into an Ivy League is like waiting for lightning to strike. Some students with impeccable records still get rejected. They can’t possibly take on that many students. Don’t forget politics and the good ole boy network works against the average applicant. I wouldn’t take a rejection as a failure… So you didn’t win the lottery, big deal. There are excellent schools that do just as well without the mystique and elitism.</p>
