<p>Early</a> Decision applications decrease 1.5 percent - News</p>
<p>good news for you eders</p>
<p>Looks like Albert took my suggestion. :)</p>
<p>"Good news"</p>
<p>Not really, except that it could have been worse (ED apps up instead of down).</p>
<p>If you figure that they want around 1200 acceptances, then out of 4000 applications (last year's #) that would be exactly 30%. Out of this year's pool (3929 applications) its 30.54%, for a whopping 1/2% increase in your chances (assuming that they just don't adjust the admit rate down a little to compensate, which is also possible). So out of every 200 ED applicants, 140 would have been rejected last year and 139 rejected this year - big whoop.</p>
<p>wow i thought it was on the lines of 10%. i like my odds</p>
<p>The odds do differ by school - Wharton is much lower than 30% admit rate, more like 20%.</p>
<p>has anyone ever been able to find a breakdown of the number of apps and admits per school within Penn?</p>
<p>Penn is very stingy w/ this data because they don't like to advertise the fact that Wharton is twice as hard to get into as the College - it goes against "one university idea", p*sses people in the College off (every time I bring this up here I get all kinds of rude comments - some things are best not repeated in public) , etc. But unofficially, Wharton admit rate is around 9 or 10% overall, but b/c Wharton is a small school in relation to total undergrad enrollment, the RoP (rest of Penn) admit rate is not much higher than the overall average - maybe 18%-20% RoP vs. 16% for AoP (all of Penn). Something like that. I have no idea how that breaks down nursing vs. eng. vs. col.</p>
<p>sometimes i wish i had applied to the CAS</p>
<p>me too.....</p>
<p>Forget that Wharton roxx0rz</p>
<p>Anyways, hopefully the # of Wharton apps didn't go UP, I hope that everyone stayed the same across the board!</p>
<p>i don't hope they stayed the same, i hope wharton's went DOWN...by a lot =D</p>
<p>lol now that you said that I bet that wharton apps increased by 50% and everyone else went down by 20%</p>
<p>haha...i bet mrchipmunk wants there to be only like 250 applicants so we all have to get in! that would be nice...</p>
<p>haha if only....</p>
<p>hahaha yea watch that 3500 of the apps are for wharton alone</p>
<p>actually the majority are probably for the college as they are every year</p>
