Below, I've provided some information about our Early Decision process. Please note that these are not final statistics; rather they are a snapshot of where we stood as of Friday, December 16. </p>
<p>Early Decision Update</p>
<p>We received 2836 early decision applications for 2005-2006. This represents an increase of 11% from 2004-2005. The acceptance rate for early decision is 39%, down from last year's rate of 41.7%. </p>
<p>The following information reflects an early picture of the Early Decision applicants for the Class of 2010:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>1106 admitted students (1068 admitted students for 2004-2005)</p></li>
<li><p>47.6% female, 52.4% male (50.8% are female, 49.2% are male for 2004-2005)</p></li>

<p>Thank you to all of you who conducted conversations with students during the Early Decision application process. For those of you holding applicant receptions in January and February, thank you for your efforts!</p>
