<p>I am not that meticulous and I am not at all following the argument on this thread closely, just that the 30% admit rate for SEAS got my attention and I know it was much much less than that this past year when my son got in. I was helicopter parenting him and know that Columbia’s overall admit rate was 10.35, got this from admissions director Jessica Marinaccio herself, and remember her saying SEAS was 15 or 16 % only a percent or two above MIT’s admit/acceptance rate , although the two populations may not be exactly comparable but overlap of MIT and SEAS students SAT score was considerable. Thanks.</p>
<p>Keep in mind acceptance rate is half the story - the strength of students who apply is more important. If a bunch of kids with below a 1200 SAT and 3.0 GPA’s apply to your top school it really isn’t a problem.</p>
<p>So that means that Columbia’s Fu’s admittance rate is NOT 14% by any means.</p>
<p>Apparently CB says its 24% and other people say its 18%, in any case its almost 200% of Columbia College’s rate.</p>
<p>I think it is 14% or so, now that I am trying to recall Jessica’s comments, it is within 1% of MIT’s. Please note that students may be different but not all that much. Contrary to what the poster said, they are not below 1300 and all that.</p>
<p>Should have used 1200 based on infinite truth’s comment.</p>
<p>Here are the figures from Hernandez consulting for class of 2011. Columbia College 8.9, SEAS 18.1 (I was mistaken again), overall 10.35, MIT a little over 12%.</p>
<p>SEAS and College’s ED rate are much higher.</p>
<p>These numbers are all off one year. Dartmouth was 15.27% last year for example.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are definetely some outdated stats in the OP…last year Penn admitted 16%, for example. I don’t think that the rates are going to go down meaningfully, either: at the end of the day, its roughly the same number of students applying for roughly the same amount of seats in top schools. The only change in acceptance rates will simply be a reflection of the trend of students applying to essentially every Ivy in an attempt to gain admittance to at least one.</p>
<p>What about Duke? Why do people always forget this school, lol</p>
<p>The numbers are probably off by a year. Cornell’s acceptance percentage last year was 20.5</p>

<p>I guarantee you Chicago’s admission rates will drop like 6 or 7 percent at LEAST!</p>
<p>Is Dartmouth really going to admit lots of internationals?</p>
<p>A couple of comments regarding the numbers:</p>

<li>The numbers reported by The College Board are rarely the latest. The numbers will typically match the numbers available to the premium subscribers of the US News. This means they do trail by one year, and in this case the online numbers are for the Class of 2010.</li>

<p>Will the numbers stay the same this year???</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, there is always wishful thinking. Probably the same wishful thinking that people will accept the published statistics for Columbia that don’t include the engineering school at face value.</p>
<p>Here are the numbers for MIT versus Columbia</p>
<p>Overall Admissions
MIT 1533 12443 12.32%<br>
SEAS 592 3262 18.15% </p>
<p>Difference is almost 6%</p>
<p>ED Admissions
MIT 390 3493 11.17%
SEAS 140 418 33.49%</p>
<p>Difference 1s over** 22%**</p>
<p>What that doesn’t factor in is cross applicants. If there was some way to deduce an overall ivy league acceptance number, that would actually be interesting. I’m willing to bet at least a half of those 22500 admits constitute kids applying to more than one ivy league school.</p>
<p>wow penn is 16%? penn hates our school, a couple years back a girl (val) got into HYPS and got rejected from penn. and our school regularly sends 20-30 ppl to ivies and for the past like 5 years nobody went to penn</p>
<p>This data includes Duke and a number of other schools including the Ivies, MIT and Stanford. </p>

<p>CalTech at 6.2%? That seems conspicuously low.</p>
