I was wondering if anybody here could shed some light on ED figures. I know that the admit rate is approximately 35%. But what of the remaining 65%? Are they primarily rejected, or are they deferred? Anybody know?
NU’s policy has been to defer only a small percentage of ED applicants about whom they want more academic info before making a decision: http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/story/northwestern-admissions-alters-early-decision-poli/
Good policy. Thanks CCMom2U.
For the class of 2019 it’s more like 25% not 35
@imogeneasa The ED rate for 2019 was 35.2%
uh huh. 2793 applied, over 1000 accepted, expected incoming class 2025 students. over 35%. http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2014/12/northwestern-admits-most-early-decision-applicants-ever.html
