Ivies Admit Rates - Class 2013

Applying to College
1

<p>Harvard 7 (about same last year 7.1)
Yale 7.5 ( from 8.6)
Columbia 9.8 (from 10 last year)
Princeton 9.8 (higher than last year 9.3)
Brown 10.8 ( from 13.3)
Dartmouth 12 (from 13.2)
U Penn 17 (about same from last year)
Cornell 19 (from 20 last year)</p>

<p>The biggest drop this year was for Brown which also had the highest increase in applicants from last year (21 %)</p>

<p>Princeton was the only one to have a higher admit rate.</p>

2

<p>Damn, lol.</p>

<p>Insanity!</p>

3

<p>U Penn went up also</p>

4

<p>Brown was interesting this year. A lot of competitive applicants from my school didn’t get into Brown when they seemed perfectly capable of doing so, not that it was ever a sure thing. </p>

<p>As for me, I got into Harvard and Yale but got waitlisted at Brown.</p>

5

<p>Wow…I’m glad to have snagged my acceptance at Columbia, and a harvard waitlist spot.</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>I know a few on that same situation. I think no one can ever figure out which way these institutions go.</p>

7

<p>I’m in Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Columbia, and Brown</p>

<p>What should I do?!</p>

8

<p>^ Depends what you want to do.</p>

<p>Make a new thread :stuck_out_tongue: And congratulations!</p>

9

<p>****, and I thought the class of 2012 had it rough</p>

10

<p>Of course what we dont know is – has the average number of ivy apps per student increased.</p>

11

<p>Based on these numbers:
“Harvard 7 (about same last year 7.1)
Yale 7.5 ( from 8.6)
Columbia 9.8 (from 10 last year)
Princeton 9.8 (higher than last year 9.3)
Brown 10.8 ( from 13.3)
Dartmouth 12 (from 13.2)
U Penn 17 (about same from last year)
Cornell 19 (from 20 last year)”</p>

<p>The percentage changes from the prior rate were:
Hvd -1.4%
Yale -12.8%
Col -2.0%
Pton +5.4%
Brn -18.9%
DMouth -9%
Penn n/a
Cornell -5%</p>

<p>Maricelag: what you should do? Look up humility and sensitivity in the dictionary.</p>

12

<p>“What should I do?!”</p>

<p>Do a barrel roll!</p>

13

<p>re: Princeton –</p>

<p>I think I recall reading that last year Princeton took fewer in admittance, and purposely created a very large wait list.</p>

<p>Perhaps this year it was a different admit/wait proportion.</p>

<p>In the end, they still fill the class.</p>

14

<p>Maricelag!! GO TO HARVARD!!! PLEASE :(</p>

15

<p>maricelag: don’t kid yourself
just go to the school you were actually accepted to i.e. state school</p>

16

<p>No need to lament… Most of us will be going to Tier II or even Tier III schools anyway.</p>

<p>Only a select few go a university deemed “elite” and even fewer attend an Ivy.</p>

17

<p>^ i disagree… even though many wont get into Ivies, I’m pretty sure the vast majority of CCers get into Tier I</p>

18

<p>Which are the Tier I schools?</p>

19

<p>Holy crap lol.</p>

<p>Stanford admitted 7.6% of its freshmen applicants this year, also a record low: <a href=“http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_12046060[/url]”>http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_12046060&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
