<p>Caveat. Projection is for University as a whole - cannot be applied to any specific school. Some may be higher, others lower.</p>

<p>For your information. Good luck.</p>

<p>holy shiza....25.7!?!?!</p>

<p>def. getting more selective......wow</p>

<p>does that 1134 accepted take into account GSP? i mean if it does, then the acceptance rate is lower than cornell and other ivy-league/top schools</p>

<p>I don't know. I can only speculate. It seems to me that it does, otherwise, they would experience a large "bump-up" in the junior class every year as the GSP group integrates into CAS (for the most part). That would cut drastically into the amount of transfer students they can accept - which does not seem to be the case, since transfer admissions remain relatively constant at about 30 - 35%. But the 1134 is ED and ED acceptance rates are strictly a function of a college's admissions philosophy. I believe Penn was almost 50% this year, which will certainly lower their RD acceptance rate to well below 20%. Many colleges like to accept a significant portion of their freshmen ED for this reason. Don't forget also that Ivy schools have a much higher yield, so they don't have to accept as many to reach their goal (e.g. Harvard yield is about 80%).</p>

<p>yea...i feel like class of 2010 is a harbinger for the next classes to graduate...</p>

<p>its almost as if we barely made it before the real crazy competition locks in</p>

<p>Correction to my statement that Penn accepted almost 50% of its ED applicants. It was Cornell, with 46.7%. The other Ivy ED acceptance rates were: Brown 22.7, Yale 17.7, Columbia 25.9, Princeton 26.8, Penn 28.6, Dartmouth 30.1, and Harvard 20.8. RD acceptance rates for these schools will be significantly lower, of course.</p>
