<p>I know last year the overall admit rate was 17.7%.
Anyone know about what it’ll be this year? RD vs overall?</p>
<p>Whoo Penn 2011!</p>
<p>it has to be lower this year since they got 23000 apps (their highest ever)
I would guess around 15% for overall and closer to 10% for RD
wow Penn got 2000-3000 more apps than last year</p>
<p>absurdity%</p>
<p>I heard from a student from Penn that it was around 14% this year.
But I am 100% sure, though.^^</p>
<p>Damn, 14%. That's crazy.
I feel kinda proud, lol.</p>
<p>don't feel that proud.</p>
<p>old hands like me are free riding from all this academic throat-slitting that you young guns are doing for the university</p>
<p>My email says 23000 apps and 2400 accepted, that puts it at a little over 10%.</p>

<p>Huh? (10 char)</p>
<p>more than 2400 were accepted because there is space for about 2400 in the whole class? i thought</p>
<p>2 years ago it was 21%, last year it was 18%... So maybe around 15%?</p>
<p>mengcheng, what do you mean by your post above?</p>
<p>probably that as a current Penn student or alumni people will see the lower acceptance % now... think Penn is that much harder/greater which reflects nicely on him</p>
<p>finally, someone realizes that I am infact a guy, and not a girl</p>
<p>I am figuratively slitting my wrists at the lack of humor this forum has.</p>
<p>The REAL free riders are the alumni who went to penn when the acceptance rate was around 45%</p>
<p>That says the Penn acceptance rate was down to 15% this year.</p>
<p>The Financial Times article cited in The Dartmouth article actually says it's 14%:</p>
<p>Either way, I'm really enjoying the free ride (thanks, kids!).</p>
<p>Awesome.... yet, at the same time not awesome</p>
