How much of the class was filled with EDers?

[peachy89]

<p>Were the stats released?</p>

[BalletGirl]

<p>400 were accepted ED; 40% of the Class of 2012</p>

[akiiriah]

<p>Wow that’s a lot…</p>

<p>How many were accepted ED last year?</p>

[sybbie719]

<p>I seriously doubt that 40% of the class was accepted ED as Dartmouth is committed to not accepting 40% of the class ED (they try to keep the #s around 35-36%). </p>

<p>Even with the class of 2011 which is the largest admitted class that Dartmouth has in years with 1115 students because more people decided to come during RD, there were 379 students accepted ED 35.87% </p>

<p>class of 2010 1086 - 397 ED (36%)
class of 2009 1075 397 ED (36.9%)
class of 2008 1081 384 ED (35.5%)
class of 2007 1077 397 ED (35.65%)</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~oir/data-reporting/cds/index.html[/url]”>This Page Has Moved;

<p>Their largest class was class of 2005 with 1137 students which resulted in a housing shortage and the school offered a free year of room and board to families who deferred enrolling for a year.</p>

<p>Damn, Sybbie, you are like Stats Central. Amazing!!</p>

[bluebayou]

<p>the class matriculant ‘goal’ is 1075, so 400/1075 = 37%. However, for whatever reason, one or two acceptees slip out of ED.</p>

[BalletGirl]

<p>I think bluebayou has it right. </p>

<p>I was figuring it on a class size of 1,000. The goal in the last several years has been to enroll an entering class of 1,075 (they overshot last year by 30). </p>

<p>So if they have accepted 400 in ED this year, then D’s got just over 37.2% of the class filled. There are 675 spots left to be filled through RD. </p>

<p>Last year 14,176 applied for admission (ED and RD combined) with 2,166 admitted (ED and RD combined) for an admit rate of 15.3%. If there is an increase in applicants this year (due to recruiting of international students, etc; ED applications were up 8.9% this year) of 5%, then D could see a total applicant pool of almost 15,000 students. </p>

<p>With over 37% of the 2012 class admitted in ED and the prospect of an applicant pool of nearly 15,000, then RD this year will be the most competitive ever. </p>

<p>Given that D gets about a 50% yield (from ED and RD combined), I suspect that D will looking to accept about 1800 applicants in RD from a pool of potentially 13,600 (excluding the 1400 who applied in ED)for an admit rate of about 13%. Given that underrepresented minorities apply in disproportionate numbers in RD and given that D probably has some quotas to fill, this 13% number probably overstates the likelihood of admission for most candidates.</p>

[BalletGirl]

<p>I don’t think it is likely D will increase enrollment anytime soon. Thoughts??</p>

[bulldogbull]

<p>They definitely won’t</p>

[sybbie719]

<p>I agree that as to it being unlikely that enrollment will increase. </p>

<p>Even with the opening of the new dorms the extra students from the 11’s had a trickle down effect; </p>

<p>no one called off the waitlist</p>

<p>41 transfers into the class of 2010</p>

<p>it will be really difficult to transfer into the class of 2011</p>

<p>and </p>

<p>the extra 11’s is going to throw the whole room draw situation out of whack (especially now that housing is guaranteed for freshmen and sophomores). This situation will definitely affect the 10’s who stay on next year because they will be at the bottom of the food chain as seniors go first in the room draw.</p>

<p>From today’s edition of The Dartmouth</p>

<p>Early applications increase 11 percent from last year</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>ith an 11 percent increase in applications, Dartmouth awarded early admission to 400 students. Dean of Admissions Maria Laskaris ’84said this year’s early decision was “more selective than it’s ever been.”</p>

<p>Out of the 1,428 early decision applicants, the 201 men and 199 women admitted — 28 percent of all applicants— comprise what Laskaris called “an academically accomplished, diverse and multitalented group of students.”</p>

<p>Early admitted students represent 37 percent of the expected Class of 2012, with the rest of the class admitted through regular decision in April.</p>

<p>In a memorandum sent to the applicants’ guidance counselors, Laskaris said that of the 1,428 early applicants, 526 were deferred and 471 were denied admission. Seventeen other students were notified that their applications were incomplete. The memorandum did not account for the additional 14 students. Laskaris could not be reached for comment on the additional applications by press time.</p>

<p>Although deferred students will be reviewed again with the regular decision applications, the memorandum noted that in recent years less than 10 percent of deferred applicants have gained admission to the College.</p>

<p>Laskaris noted that this year’s accepted students were among the strongest she’s ever seen.</p>

<p>Twenty percent of the students admitted are the valedictorians of their high schools and 11 percent are ranked second, consistent with past years. Eighty-nine percent were ranked in the top ten percent of their classes.</p>

<p>The middle 50 percent of accepted students’ SAT scores were between 640 and 760 in Critical Reading, 670 and 770 in Math and 680 and 760 in Writing.</p>

<p>53 percent of those admitted attended public schools, up from 50 percent in 2006. 42 percent attended private schools, while five percent attended parochial schools.</p>

<p>Sixty-five admitted students are sons or daughters of Dartmouth alumni, a slight increase over last year’s 58 percent.</p>

<p>Most of the accepted students were from New England, the mid-Atlantic and the West, Laskaris said. As more than 60 percent of the Class of 2012 has yet to be admitted, Laskaris said this distribution could change after the regular decision process.</p>

[collegeseeker111]

<p>This makes no sense. 65 admitted students were legacies. This is 13% roughly. How is this a slight increase over last year’s 58%?</p>

[VeryHappy]

<p>I think it was 58 people, not 58%.</p>

[Redondo_Dave]

<p>Shoot the editor. I saw that and realized it was an error.</p>

[ThaisCarreira]

<p>As an international students, do you guys think I have better or worse chances of admissions, considering this year is so selective?</p>
