<p>An obvious typo … Caltech admission rate was 17%.</p>
<p>573 Admitted from 3332 Applicants.</p>
<p>I was surprised at how many people got into Chicago EA; I was expecting them to defer in droves due to the sudden increase in applicants. I wonder what kind of effect this will have on RD admits and the waitlist.</p>

smart, andy, smart.</p>
<p>I always wonder how many of the Ivy applicants are considered ‘competitive.’
Really, how many of the applicants have 3.0 GPAs?</p>
<p>Now that Princeton got rid of its ED and Harvard of its EA, the applicant pool is likely to increase at all of the top schools and the yield rates are likely to slightly decrease everywhere (except possibly Harvard bc its Harvard!).</p>
<p>Duke’s yield rate will drop below 40% this year, but will reach over 20,000 in applicants. Duke will begin with a 16%-17% overall acceptance rate and there is a 50% chance that this number will drop to 19% depending on how many people they get to enroll in the RD round (a.k.a: this could be another year in which Duke makes great use of the waitlist).</p>
