<p>What % does that make the RD rate?too tired to do the math today. But read Harvard’s was 3%</p>

<p>I was one of the poor wait listed souls</p>

<p>Princeton’s RD rate was somewhere around 5.0%, depending on how many people they deferred from the EA round into RD. The had about 22,800 RD applications total, and 3,840 EA applications, and admitted 714 people EA and now 1,225 RD. If they deferred 1,700 people to RD, that would make the rate 5.0%. That seems probably a little high for the number of deferrals, so the admission rate is probably a skootch higher than that.</p>

<p>IIRC, they only rejected 49 students in SCEA, so actually the deferred group would have been over 3000… I may not be remembering that right, but I think it was something along those lines. Almost nobody got rejected EA. (Quite the opposite of Stanford’s approach, for example!)</p>
