<p>Did Penn jump a lot in USNR this year?</p>
<p>That's ED, so it seemed right to me..</p>
<p>Penn has been #4 for a few years now. The jump in ED applications might be due to the fact that there are more USNEWS subscribers. That 41% increase in Penn SEAS ED applicants is just absurd- so is the 30 something percent jump in Nursing applicants.</p>
<p>Ok,</p>
<p>The number of ED Wharton Applicants is 1,083 this year.
The number of people that get accepted in to Wharton each year is 700.
The 50% of the class are ED's</p>
<p>(.50 x 700)/ 1083 = a 32.3% chance for people that applied ED to Wharton to get in...ya? That's not bad.</p>
<p>that can't be right.......... seems way too high. what is the new rate for the college?</p>
<p>Ya...I thought it was too high too. But it's true if the statistics on the thread are.</p>
<p>wharton doesn't take half of its class ED.... I think?</p>
<p>princess88ik, shhh lol don't add to the stress :)</p>

<p>So Wharton accepts 520 people each year, not 700
Also, i'm not exactly sure 50% will be accepted because Wharton doesn't have to worry about yield that much, so let's say 45%</p>
<p>(.45x520)/1083 = 21.6%</p>
<p>I think 520 is the number of matriculants each year out of 700 admitees. (but that's a f'ing high yield</p>
<p>oh ok, that makes sense</p>
<p>In the Daily Pennsylvanian article (and the stats they released), where do they factor in the applicants who applied early to ONLY a joint-degree program (like M&T or Huntsman)? Which school would they place them under?</p>
<p>Couldn't find data on the total number of people at CAS and Nursing, so that's why I didn't calculate the new %s.. I read somewhere that Wharton is 510, but 519 and 510 are so close that the difference is negligible.</p>
<p>ok guys i sort of found a rough guesstimate about the college of arts and sciences chances.
The current enrollment at CAS is 6,340. If you divide that by four to find how many freshmen are enrolled, that would be 1585. I rounded that to 1600 since enrolmment has probably been increasing with each year. Then I multiplied 1600 by .47 since that's about how much of the CAS they accept ED, which turned about to be 752.<br>
And finally: 752/2479 =30.33%</p>
<p>pennorbust, I'm not sure about that, but I'm guessing they would either
a) not include them at all in the statistics
b) include them in their "back-up" school they chose when they applied for the joint-degree program (e.g. If you applied for M&T and specified Engineering to be the school you would want your application to be forwarded to in case you didn't make M&T ED, you would be listed under Engineering)</p>
<p>From Penn's website, the total(all four years combined) number of enrolled students in each of the schools for Fall 2004.</p>
<pre><code> College 6478
SEAS 1494
Nursing 492
Wharton 1784
</code></pre>
<p>kliuless, I don't have any proof of this but my hunch is that the answer is your choice B. They would want their numbers to look as good as possible. You know?</p>
<p>Hmmm...21% for Wharton too then? that's kinda ironic...there was a 21% increase, the average admission for UPenn last year was 21%, tomm is the 21st and we get our SAT scores, and it's the 21st century.</p>
<p>Still, 21% isn't that bad, ya? Not for the best business school in the world.</p>
<p>Yeah, stambliark, I assumed that too. But then again some joint-degree program applicants do not specify a "back-up school." In other words, if they do not get accepted to their program ED, they would be deferred again to the program in RD. So I don't know how those applicants would be reflected in the statistics.</p>
<p>no.. they count towards either the backup school or both schools that the program involves... you will always have to pick a backup school, but you can choose if you want to ED at the backup school if not accepted to the joint program</p>
