<p>@maserrano: the article i read said that 200 received them last year. so it might be more or less this year; i don’t think the exact stats are out yet. we’ll probably find out soon.</p>
<p>any idea how many acceptances there will be this year in RD? i think it’s usually around 3000</p>
<p>“For the Class of 2014 entering in the fall of 2010, the University received a record-setting 26,938 applications and admitted 14.2 percent of the applicants…”</p>
<p>-2010 data- </p>
<p>3825 accepted, 200 likelies, 5.2% received, 94.8% did not. Bear in mind that many of the liklies (not most, but many) are athletic recruits.</p>
<p>I can’t find the article now, but there’s a site that ranked the top 20 hardest schools to get into with their 2015 projected acceptance rates. Penn is around 12.2%.</p>
<p>I applied as a chem major and didn’t get one :(</p>
<p>Engineering and applied science
