Ivy League schools record low acceptance rates???

<p>Hi, does anyone know the acceptance rates of ivy league schools? I heard it is at an all time low this year.</p>

<p>Yep, they are.</p>

<p>I've heard Yale accepted only 5.8% RD, for a total rate of 8.6%.
Harvard's total was 9.3%.
Columbia accepted only 7.9% for an overall rate of 9.6%.
Penn's acceptance rate will probably fall between 17-19% this year.
Dartmouth accepted 15.4% overall.</p>

<p>The same goes for top 25's. All are reporting lower acceptance rates.</p>

<p>Cornell was 21 percent....</p>

<p>Princeton's was 6.9%</p>

<p>omg....7 percent, is that a joke?</p>

<p>can someone verify that yale's was 5.8% RD? if that's true...sheesh</p>

<p>bball87- Nope. The numbers were 17,500 applied, 1,220 accepted. (so nice of them to put this on the rejection letter...)</p>

<p>Are you sure it's 1220 accepted or 1220 in a class?</p>

<p>Big difference, and a common mistake.</p>

<p>Princeton's incoming class has 1,220 people.</p>

<p>jpps1- smart. it's class not accepted. still I imagine the initial percentage is small.</p>

<p>So their acceptance rate (using past yield) is around 10%, not 7%. Princeton rarely (if ever) has the lowest acceptance rate of HYP.</p>

<p>silly 2006’ers, you should see our admissions rate now</p>

<p>:(</p>
