<p>599/2236=26.8%</p>

<p>"45 of the admitted students are the first in their families to attend college."</p>

<p>I wonder how many of those were URM? Sometimes I feel that most people with humble backgrounds tends to be neglected in early decision and given differrals. All the people who got in ED from my school were from rich families</p>

3

<p>only 45? wow. i didn't know we were this rare. so much for my first-generations status.</p>

4

<p>I guess being first generation and low income doesn't help for ED(unless you're a minority. At least deferrals get to be reconsidered later on..Always have hope!</p>

Average SAT I scores of the admitted students were 720 critical reading, 730 quantitative and 720 writing.

<p>Wow this is lower than I had thought it would be...does anyone else agree?</p>

6

<p>About the same as the overall figures for last year.</p>

7

<p>Wow! Okay, then I'm a lot more happy with my 2300 than I had been.</p>

<p>That SAT average is lower than what it will come out to after RD because of the legacies (18% of ED admits) and recruited athletes who apply at a greater rate ED. Of course, not all recruits and legacies have below average scores, but I think it is safe to say their averages are less than the overall acceptance pool.</p>

9

<p>I don't believe that's a fair assumption...the legacy part. Legacy doesn't carry as much weight as you think.</p>

10

<p>yeah...low sat averages</p>

11

<p>If the research is true that states that applying ED is worth a 100 points (old SAT) that would suggest that the accepted RD pool will come in at around a 1550 average SAT making the overall admitted students’ average SAT around 1500.</p>

12

<p>The matriculants have a lower SAT composite, in recent years, than the admits.</p>

13

<p>i'm sure it's that way everywhere. after all, the higher an admit's SAT score is, the more choices he probably enjoys.</p>

14

<p>I think Princeton has reported the respective SAT scores, somewhere, for applicants, admits and matriculants, I know Brown does this.</p>

15

<p>applicants: 1350-1570 (surprisingly high top-end)</p>

<p>admits: 1400-1590</p>

<p>enrollees: 1400-1570 ("loss" occurs at the top end)</p>

16

<p>how competitive is the RD pool? more/less so than ED?</p>

17

<p>much more competitive, if only for the reason that about six or seven times as many applicants are competing for only about twice as many spots. that's reflected in the acceptance rates.</p>

18

<p>much more competitive (especially for the Non-URM's)</p>

<p>sorry!</p>

19

<p>the legacy and athletes have low scores and comprise the retards at PTON and the rest are really high scorers - so average the lucky retards with the brains and hard workers you get the CRS. ( crappy reported scores)</p>

<p>However, the RD applicants are not competitve as the ED applicants.</p>
