<p>I'm just wondering how many applicants are admitted EA and, subsequently, how many applicants would be admitted RD. Also, specifically to VSB, how many applicants are admitted EA vs. RD. Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi bball- was told many more admitted regular decision to vsb. hopr so caue that will be me after today’s news.</p>
<p>@Brocha…about how many are accepted RD compared to EA. If you could provide percentage, that would be great.</p>
<p>it’s supposed to be about 66% of frosh are from RD</p>
<p>Ionbeam- thanks for the RD stat</p>
<p>So, only about 1/3 of the applicant pool comes from EA.</p>
<p>For the 2011(last year) EA applicant pool ,there were 6900 applications with 2700 accepts. For RD there were an additional 8500 applications plus the 4200 deferred for the 4700 accepts. I can’t find data on the yield rates(enrolled) for EA vs RD.</p>
<pre><code> The accepted EA students are the very strongest applicants (above 4.0 GPA , above 1350 SAT , 4-5 AP’s etc ).
</code></pre>
<p>If VU was binding ED instead of nonbinding EA , many of these applicants would not be in this pool.
I feel that for many of these applicants , Villanova is a low match / safety school and many EA accepts do not enroll, if they eventually get into BC , Gtown or ND etc.</p>
<p>The downside is that for the deferred that have Villanova as a first choice become discouraged and may consider other schools instead of being psyched even though they may be accepted in March.</p>
<p>Hope this helps…</p>
<p>Our family knows an admission counselor at Nova and she said they received 7000 EA applications and admitted 2000 of them. Just some numbers in case you were interested.</p>
