<p>....24.9%</p>
<p>The</a> Daily Pennsylvanian :: Early decision admission rates drop by less than 1 percent</p>
<p>and a statement from Dean Furda: The admitted class will post the highest academic achievement and broader diversity than all previous classes admitted in the early round, </p>
<p>2 days to go guys!
Hopefully we're part of the 1196 :) Good luck!</p>
<p>Yay, higher than I expected! I seriously thought it was going to be like 20% because of the 5% increase in applicants</p>
<p>Technically the acceptance rate dropped by 1.97%</p>
<p>Oh my gosh. Let the intense freaking out commence.</p>
<p>I can’t even. What can’t that ahhhh like omg rejected deferred accepted what can’t homework can’t focus ffffffffffffff0=-esdpkzlxmoiajewr</p>
<p>asdfghjkl;!!!</p>
<p>Lol good to know I’m not the only one freaking out</p>
<p>Omg I’ve been going crazy! Like I just wanna know, I HATE the suspense</p>
<p>i know the feel… gahh 44 hours to go…</p>
<p>anyone got figures on legacy admission rate? i know it’s usually up around 45-ish</p>
<p>^ The legacy admission rate is NOT around 45-ish. When Penn still released that information a few years ago, it was in the 30-40% range, when the overall acceptance rate was higher than it is now. It’s certainly no higher than that range now, and is probably lower.</p>
<p>While legacy is still taken into account during the ED round, and can give a slight boost to an otherwise qualified applicant all else being equal, Penn has deemphasized its active support of legacy applicants in the wake of increasingly competitive admissions:</p>

<p>^This is slightly random and off topic, but why is your username 45Percenter? I’m just curious as to what it refers to.</p>
<p>^ Around the time I joined CC in 2007, one of the frequent Penn student posters joked that alums admitted to Penn back in the days when the overall acceptance rate was around 45%, owed a lot to current applicants facing much steeper competition and lower admit rates, for greatly enhancing the prestige of the school. Hence, I identified myself as a (grateful) 45 Percenter. :)</p>
<p>^If accepted into Penn, I should get a new account with the name, 25 Percenter :).</p>
<p>^ Actually, it should be 12 Percenter (or something close to that)–Penn’s overall admit rate. ;)</p>
<p>Yup, so we should owe it to the RD students who caused acceptance rates to drop.</p>
<p>^ You mean the 9 Percenters (or something close to that). :)</p>
<p>Yup, cheers to them . When was Penns acceptance rate 45% ?</p>
<p>^ When Ben Franklin personally read every application.</p>
<p>Best of wishes to all of those UPenn ED applicants!!! Obviously you’ve placed your heart in West Philly, but please be assured that those who are not accepted will end up at a great place. I have seen it time and again where kids don’t get into their ‘dream’ school and end up at the school where they are supposed to be. Penn is a great place, but there are so many other wonderful schools. You’ve worked hard and will ultiamtely end up where you should be. Good luck!</p>
