From the NY post a few threads below.</p>

<p>At this level it is just as selective most ivies.... impressive :P</p>

<p>Well, they take more than 4,000, I believe. Only about 4,000 are expected to actually attend.</p>

<p>i think they accept 8 - 10 thousand</p>

<p>oh i am a complete dumbass
i forgot about yield</p>

<p>Matriculation rate is not 100%.. They'll accept 10-12 thousand this year</p>

<p>According to their acceptance rate of 29% (published on their website), it would mean they accept 10,150 applicants out of the 35,000 that applied. Very impressive to be chosen.</p>

<p>is that for this year?</p>

<p>in fact, now that i think about it. it must be around 26 or 27 % this yr. i saw the stat online and that was with 33, 000 applications. i know this yr they got 35, 000+. it makes me feel special to get in :)</p>
