</p>

<p>well if the total class is roughly 2500
and 45% comes from Early Decision
roughly 1100 comes from early decision</p>

<p>1100/3400 (roughly)
comes to a percentage of 32.32% estimate</p>

23

<p>bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>

24

<p>does anyone know what percentage will be accepted from those who applied ED to the College?</p>

25

<p>Approximately 33%.</p>

26

<p>Ahh we're so close now...</p>

<p>The numbers were right where I expected them (~3500), so they don't worry me...</p>

28

<p>I have a feeling that the stats for our year will be even harder. At least the quality of Penn students goes up, making the college look better in general.</p>

29

<p>i feel like all schools these days are getting record highs on ED apps..at my highschool like 80% of students are applying somewhere ED... crazy... but in a way its kind of good because it means less competition RD and less people applying to 10 schools theyre not going to end up attending</p>

<p>we need to update this thread!!!!</p>

31

<p>its chaos all over again, do i sense a trend?</p>

<p>"Stetson expects to fill over 45 percent of the Class of 2009 with early decision applicants. Students will find out if they were admitted this Friday."</p>

<p>this friday?</p>

33

<p>no not this friday lol i wish but that article is from last year</p>

34

<p>no way do they take anything above 20% for Wharton ED</p>

<p>EDIT: I got really confused on the dates.... I just realized this thread is old from last year</p>

35

<p>haha same here i was like wait a minute...then i saw the dates and was let down.</p>

36

<p>they take alot of kids from jersey! hopefully im one of them!!</p>

37

<p>Surely this thread is redundant now, why not update it to the 2005 ED stats thread?</p>

<p>Hey I was looking at the Daily Pennsylvanian and was just getting more worried as wednesday looms nearer. Although im starting to except that I have like no chance at getting in ED. My SATs are good but not even like 35th percentile! I got like 650 math 680 verbal and a 29 composite on the ACT. Go EC's right? Plus i got a letter of reccomendation from the Minority Whip in the Pennsylvania Senate. Senator O'Pake is a great mentor. OK without soundin like a whiny little piece, how much do letters of rec. from alumn help? GOD HELP ME! (insert scream here) get back to me before wednesday at 7 please</p>
