<p>Do anyone know how many students applied for EA, admitted, deferred, rejected this year?</p>
<p>These statistics will likely be published on one of the admissions officers’ blogs in the next few days.</p>
<p>not sure when we’ll be releasing it.</p>
<p>I believe the rejection letter said something about 6,000+ applications and less than 1000 acceptances. I got deferred, but I’m praying I’ll get in with the Regular Applicant pool.</p>
<p>I know that this post is old, but I still can’t find the early admission percentage anywhere! Am I being really stupid, or is it still not posted?</p>
<p>I don’t think it has been released yet. In past years it was released pretty close to the release of decisions, so I would assume that the numbers may be released soon. Although the admissions office is on vacation until January 3…</p>
<p>According to this article [MIT</a> accepts 6 Marblehead seniors Local News SalemNews.com, Salem, MA](<a href=“http://www.salemnews.com/local/x175060497/MIT-accepts-6-Marblehead-seniors]MIT”>http://www.salemnews.com/local/x175060497/MIT-accepts-6-Marblehead-seniors)</p>
<p>Its 772/6413 or 12.03%
Since they were so exact, I would presume this is correct (though if any of the 6 Marblehead seniors featured in the article are on CC, please let us know where the newspaper got this data!)</p>
<p>the marblehead article demonstrates the nature of early action… they concentrate on athletes and other special admits.</p>
<p>The Drumms, Graves, Forte and Chmara are all sailors and interested in the sailing programs available at schools like MIT and Harvard.</p>
<p>Reardon reported hearing from the MIT admission office that “our sailing coach is very excited about the Marblehead kids.”</p>
<p>I hate giving myself away, but I’m one of the Marblehead kids lol. I don’t know where the newspaper got the stats, but the whole situation is pretty incredible.</p>
<p>I’m not a sailor though. Only 2 of the admits from Marblehead were actual recruits for sailing though I believe.</p>
<p>If that’s true though, doesn’t that mean the new class size for the class of 2015 is going to be 2316? They’ve stated that they admit at maximum 1/3 of their class through EA. So if 772 is 1/3, the new class size is going to be a lot larger. So either many more people have hope now or the numbers are false</p>
<p>I’ve got no clue if the numbers are right. Salem may have gotten them inaccurately. No clue. I had heard they were lower but idk if that’s accurate either.</p>
<p>It’s true that 772 admits, even after some of them decide to go elsewhere, would look to yield a lot closer to 50% of the ultimate class than 33%. In general, MIT enrolls about 2/3 of the students it accepts, and the percentage is probably higher for EA admits (some of whom will not bother applying anywhere else) than for RD admits. It’s hard to imagine that fewer than 540 of the 772 EA admittees would enroll, and that’s over half of MIT’s usual class.</p>
<p>But I wouldn’t count on MIT expanding its target class by 50% or more. It’s more likely that the 772 number is wrong, or that they have slightly changed their EA/RD balance.</p>
<p>Probably the waiting list will be short.</p>
<p>Any updates on the early admit numbers? Or was the 772 figure correct?</p>
<p>^ I doubt it. They admitted 590 early last year and even if they’re expanding the class slightly (~40) from the new dorm, I doubt they’d admit 142 more students EA which is close to 10% of the total number of admitted students last year.</p>
<p>we’ll be releasing some stats on the blogs soon</p>
