<p>@nostalgicwisdom – of the 172, do you know how many were binding early decision?</p>

4

<p>145 I think because QuestBridge Match had 17 this year, and Posse usually has 10</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the great info, @nostalgicwisdom… Do you know the acceptance rate for ED1 for the Class of 2018?</p>

6

<p>@nostalgicwisdom – Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>Yikes!! That means that 145/450 = one-third of the class was admitted via the ED route. A corollary is that the admit rate for the RD poll was in the single digits.</p>

7

<p>@Corinthian I heard that it was around 90 admitted ED1 for 400+ applicants, so close to but less than 22.5%</p>

8

<p>Nostalgic, QB matched students are part of the binding ED. </p>

9

<p>I know that. The number listed combines all four sources of early decision: QB Match, Posse, EDI, and EDII</p>

10

<p>Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew the last SAT testing date, for Early Admission I.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If you knew that, why did you exclude 27 from the purported total of 172 when answering “of the 172, do you know how many were binding early decision?”</p>

<p>Are any of QB Match, Posse, EDI, and EDII non-binding? </p>

12

<p>It’s clear that the poster meant of the 172, how many were binding ED1 or ED2.</p>
