<p>Yeah, kind of ridiculous. And that doesn’t even include remaining schools…</p>

3

<p>man. this is approaching med school acceptance rates.</p>

4

<p>I DOUBT WUSTL is 15%…I really really doubt that. wth?</p>

5

<p>And where’s Berkeley, RML? Shouldn’t you go pick a fight with Huffpost? I mean how dare they forget the world’s most prestigious university :rolleyes:?</p>

6

<p>cornell is really starting to level out. they still got a record number of applications and a record low admission rate though. =]</p>

7

<p>Holy crap… I’m never gonna get into college v:/</p>

8

<p>vandy was 15% or something.</p>

<p>The NYTimes just compiled a longer list of colleges, so I would suggest to anyone who is curious about other colleges to look there as well.

<p>"I DOUBT WUSTL is 15%…I really really doubt that. wth? "</p>

<p>Why not? They received 29000+ applications this year for 1600 spots… So, if we assume that the school used the expected 31-33% yield to accept students, they should have accepted 4500. which is around 15%</p>

11

<p>^Numbers for WUSTL: 4440/28,826=15.40%</p>

<p>Sorry BearCub. I was expressing my shock at how selective this school has become. For some reason I keep thinking its a school with a 20~% admit rate like Vandy, Rice, JHU…</p>

13

<p>Also, can someone tell me the admit rates of Caltech, Williams, Pomona, Amherst, and…Berkeley? Please?</p>

14

<p>^Amherst has not released their decisions.</p>

<p>In other words, dear god…this is madness.</p>

15

<p>I’m rather shocked with Brown Univ. at 8%… Always thought of Brown as one of those 20% acceptance rate schools as well.</p>

<p>These low acceptance rates will probably mean other still pretty good schools like Rutgers-NB, NYU, etc. will become more competitive as well, mostly from people expecting to be Ivy-rejects.</p>

<p>vandy was 15%? and notre dame was 24? ***ff. thats all</p>
