<p>It's not the end of the world.</p>
<p>Meep?</p>
<p>Princess88ik - I found the stats for College of Arts and Sciences Class of 2008 - 1504 enrolled (out of 12,051 applications). That also predicts an ED acceptance rate this year of almost exactly 30%.</p>
<p>collegecountdown-thanks. I guess that isn't as low as I expected.</p>
<p>plus, you should factor in CC's record at top colleges. Just by being here, you boost your chances...lol</p>
<p>i don't think that's the case</p>
<p>there's a lurking variable (for all you statistics people)</p>
<p>Haha...we just learned about lurking variables last chapter. I'd have to agree kliuless.</p>
<p>FreakOut, let's hope there are some outliers :) but again, i'm outside of the 90% confidence interval, so p isn't very great. lol never thought stat can be this useful.</p>
<p>btw i did a little math and found that the SEAS acceptance rate will drop from 40% to about 28%, that sucks</p>
<p>You mean for overall acceptance, or ED? ED is still probably going to be around 40%, unless I did my math wrong..</p>
<p>gmman: ed. what are you talking about? the applicant pool shot up 42%. assuming they accept the same number of people as last year. that would be going from 40 percent to 28 percent...</p>
<p>i don't think so... last year... 381 students... 40% got in... so 152 got in... 152/484 is still 31/32% care to explain your math? of course 40% wasn't the ed rate, it was pretty much overall, so that's a conservative estimate, if the ed rate was 43~45%, the new ed is still 33~35%</p>
<p>Where is the 40% figure coming from? Is that ED? I figured that half the SEAS class would be filled by ED applicants, and figured out %s from there..</p>
<p>40% is probably ed rate... because overall seas is about 33...</p>
<p>you can't asssume they fill all schools with 50% ED kids</p>
<p>he didnt, he used the accepted ED value</p>
<p>does anyone else think that 45% of Wharton's class being ED seems a bit on the high side?</p>
<p>also, where are the regular decision numbers for Wharton?</p>
<p>What affect do you all think this will have on RD? Is part of the increase in ED from ppl who would have normally applied RD? Will the total number of apps be all that different in the end? </p>
<p>It's all still kinda frustrating, when Penn has been my #1 choice for so long.</p>
<p>why wouldnt you go ed to your number 1 choice for so long</p>
<p>I did ED to the College. Sorry for the confusion. I'm just kinda wondering how all this will turn out overall - I keep hoping that admissions will not lower the ED acceptance rate too much.</p>
<p>skierdude1000 :</p>
<p>On Wharton's website, it said that about 700 admitted every year, and around 500 enrolled.</p>
<p>Let's say 45% for ED (315), then rest 55% for RD(385).</p>
