<p>i'm just curious....what's the early action rate for caltech?</p>
<p>also i read faq in caltech's website and it said about 40% of early applicants are held for regular. Then about 60% are either rejected or accepted?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Appendix I

Amherest 134 432 31%
Brown 615 1,440 43%
Caltech 130 215 60%
Cornell 790 2,988 26%
Duke 476 1,610 30%
Harvard 902 1,650 55%
Johns Hopkins 220 920 24%
MIT 525 1,070 49%
Princeton 550 1,130 49%
Stanford 607 1,610 38%
U. of Penn 808 2,300 35%
U. of Virginia 785 2,830 28%
Williams 460 545 36%
Yale 460 1,300 33% </p>
<p>but this is like 10 years ago...60 %....</p>
<p>For the class that entered Fall 2006: EA rate was 22% compared to 16%
for RD according to US News</p>
<p>It was also ~60% D - ~20% A - ~20% R for last year EA.
(Sorry I don't have any references)</p>
<p>Do those numbers mean the percenttage of people accepted early, or the percentage of the freshman class that applied early? If it's the former, wow. 60% admitted, that's ridiculous. In fact, just thinkin about that makes me belive it must be the latter.</p>
<p>The same page cited earlier from US News says 25% of the
enrolled class are made up of early applicants.....</p>

<p>What I meant to say is that out of all people that applied EA to Caltech for the class of 2011, about 60% were deferred, 20% admitted and 20% rejected (this is the approximate distribution).</p>
<p>are you serious?? I checked the US news, and dang, a big percent of EAs are admitted. Except for MIT. I thought MIT had a high EA admit rate. Is this true??
Stanford having a 19% admit rate? Harvard with a 21%??
I am not convinced . . .
Stanford had a 9% and Harvard with like 8%
how 21 and 19?????</p>
<p>How many percent of the defferd are accepted?</p>
<p>wow, i'm kind of confused now... but anyway, i'll take the latest ea rate as around 20% (for caltech).. seems reasonable..</p>
<p>You have to remember, the EA pool is probably more self-selecting. Plus, you don't see applicants who want to go to a single-choice EA school (take Stanford for instance) or somewhere that's ED. So, for Caltech's EA pool, you're likely to find a group very dedicated to math, science, and engineering, a factor that the admissions committee here likes (go figure).</p>
