<p>does anyone know how many people applied to muhlenberg this year?</p>
<p>You have to remember that they have a later cut-off date, including early decision, so they haven’t gotten all of their applications yet.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>They say they have had more applications then ever before… over 5,000 for 585 spots.</p>
<p>@beenthereanddone i heard that too. but if they only take 585/ 5000+ then isnt it more like a 10-20% acceptance rate?</p>
<p>vihanna- They take more than the 585 to account for those who will choose other schools. Not sure how many they actually accept but it is many more than 585. All schools do this. They have to make an educated guess about how many of those they accept will attend so they don’t accept too many or too little. Waitlists help them manage those numbers. Hope that helps.</p>
