<p>Does anyone have any idea the number of applications and the number of acceptances for this year (total, including early)? If not this year, any historical data?</p>
<p>last year - 628 5,225</p>
<p>year before 673 3,957</p>
<p>have not come across any numbers for this year yet…</p>
<p>thanks texas</p>
<p>pardon my asking, but I am a little bit confused about those numbers</p>
<p>it says in the faq ( [Frequently</a> Asked Questions - Caltech Caltech Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/faqs]Frequently”>http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/faqs) ) that in 2009 592 undergrad men and 359 undergrad women. this means 951 total undergraduates. with four different undergraduate classes, wouldn’t that mean that an average of 230-250 students per class?</p>
<p>with 5000+ applications, that would yield an astronomically low acceptance rate, which is not concurrent with published data (i.e. 11-13%). published acceptance rate data is in line with your numbers, texaspg, so I don’t mean to question them. I’m just wondering where have I gone wrong in calculating the number of acceptances. I don’t think that your numbers include graduate students, so is it some other factor? am I missing something painfully obvious here?</p>
<p>Yield is approximately 40%, so 600 or so students are accepted each year.</p>
<p>wow, I did not expect a yield that low. what if one year four hundred students decide to matriculate?</p>
<p>Riots I presume.</p>
<p>I see. thanks for clearing that up.</p>
